MAXON Lift Corp., the largest privately-owned liftgate manufacturer in North America, recently was recognized with a pair of top supplier awards: the Wabash Platinum Award for supply chain performance in 2025, and the Best Performing Liftgate Supplier title in 2025 by Penske Truck Leasing.

Each year, Wabash presents awards to top suppliers for excellence in supply chain performance, considering criteria such as innovation, quality, delivery, cost and service. Maxon was one of thirty-seven companies that earned the award for excellence in supply chain performance. The award is presented to suppliers that demonstrate their ongoing commitment to excellence and logistics optimization in support of Wabash’s growth.

"We are honored to be recognized for our efforts,” said Brent Stratton, co-president at Maxon. “We value our long-term partnership with Wabash and look forward to continuing our shared business success. This award helps solidify Maxon’s top quality liftgate products and outstanding customer service from our most knowledgeable and comprehensive support team. We are incredibly proud of our Maxon team and this award.”

The Penske recognition encompasses survey feedback from numerous field service locations, corporate feedback and internal supplier scorecards. This award marks the second time in the past six years that Maxon has earned this title.

“This prestigious award reflects Maxon's focus to supporting every aspect of our customer partners' operations,” said James Delucchi, Maxon VP of sales – lease, rental, and fleet. “It’s a true companywide achievement made possible by the commitment and teamwork of every department across our organization.”
