AID EQUIPMENT began in 1978.  Founded on the idea that all companies must continually upgrade in order to compete in the every increasing global economy, AID EQUIPMENT started providing conveyor and other material handling products to industry.  Mr. Harris' continued dedication to customer satisfaction, and to maintaining the highest quality in the industry allowed AID EQUIPMENT to grow and expand.  Today, AID EQUIPMENT has grown beyond its material handling roots to include a logistics and transportation division in A-1 Freight Systems and A-1 Transportation, and a financial consulting division that helps individuals start businesses of their own in CST Financial. 

The founder's methodology remains in place today.  #1.  Listen to your customer's needs and wants.  #2.  Keep the scope of the project well defined. And #3. Always remain on the leading edge of technology.

Our Business Philosophy

AID EQUIPMENT's business philosophy is based upon executing good business practices and doing it better than the competition. In general, our vision is to be one of the world leaders in process improvements. We want to provide premier life-cycle products that can grow with your company, solutions that make your company more competitive, and services for our customers that distinguishes us above the competition. The mission and values define how we will achieve this vision and how we will act as we move forward.

Our new values grew from AID EQUIPMENT's Corporate Principles and three guiding principles. The emphasis on customers, innovation, financial objectives, leadership, people, and teamwork.  These values are important to AID EQUIPMENT and our customer's. However, through our Management Values, we define more fully what these concepts mean so we all know what it will take to achieve our vision.

Our employees play an extremely critical role in our future success. One of the most important things employees can do is look at ways to improve what we’re doing – especially our processes, competitiveness and customer service.
