New Dealer of the Year - San Diego’s Exclusive CLARK Forklift Distributor
E&E Industries Announces President Fernando Harris’ Attendance at CLARK Material Handling’s Global Headquarters Grand Opening
San Diego – April 18, 2025 – E&E Industries, San Diego’s exclusive distributor of CLARK forklifts and recipient of CLARK Material Handling Company’s 2024 New Dealer of the Year award, is pleased to announce that its president, Fernando Harris, attended the grand opening of CLARK’s new global headquarters in Flower Mound, Texas, on April 10, 2025. Harris’ participation underscores the strong partnership between E&E and CLARK, focused on delivering top-tier material handling solutions to San Diego businesses.
“CLARK’s invitation to its dealers for the grand opening of its global headquarters is a powerful example of why they stand out as a dealer-friendly company,” said Fernando Harris. “While many manufacturers are shifting to corporate-owned locations, CLARK remains dedicated to empowering local dealers like E&E Industries. Local dealers understand their communities’ unique needs, provide personalized service, and respond quickly to customer demands — advantages corporate models often can’t match. CLARK’s approach fosters stronger relationships, drives innovation tailored to local markets, and ensures businesses in San Diego and beyond get the reliable, hands-on support they deserve.”
The attendance of Harris at the grand opening highlights E&E Industries’ valued role within CLARK’s nationwide dealer network, further affirmed by the 2024 New Dealer of the Year award, which recognizes E&E’s outstanding service and growth in its first year as a CLARK distributor. With more than 44 years of local expertise, E&E provides San Diego industries — from warehousing to logistics — with reliable CLARK forklifts tailored to their specific operational needs.
