Louisville Switching Blog

The new acquisition will allow MH Equipment and Louisville Switching Services, Inc. to expand its customer base, product offering and service capabilities in the Kentuckiana material handling market. 

At Louisville Switching, we offer a parts search feature available for customer use on our site. With this feature, you can search for any part by the part name or number to see if we offer the specific one you are needing in our Parts Department. Our warehouse is stocked with thousands of parts that ready to be shipped to you through next-day air- because we know you need to get your parts quickly. Luckily, we have a UPS hub right down the road from our Louisville headquarters that makes it easy to get you your parts when you need them. Today we want to share a hidden gem that is built into our site- the parts search feature, and why and how you can use it to ease the process of acquiring your needed parts. 

Louisville Switching will not be exhibiting at the annual Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) this year.  We are taking a break this year to see how the show evolves with the changing landscape of truck shows. This year's show is scheduled for March 28-30, 2019 at the Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC) located on 937 Phillips Lane in Louisville, Kentucky. We are honored to be a part of the trucking, logistics and warehousing industry.  

It is with much gratitude and celebration that we want to wish our longtime partner in business, Mike Twitty, congrats on his retirement! Mike has served as the Southeast Regional Sales Manager for Kalmar Ottawa for 25 years. Mike has been a tremendous partner, mentor, and friend to us and we wanted to take a minute to congratulate him on his retirement. Since the start of Louisville Switching's partnership with Kalmar Ottawa, Mike has been our go-to for everything from sales, training, technical advice and more. We had an opportunity to talk with Mike and hear a little bit about what has influenced him in business over the years and what he is looking forward to in his retirement.  

If you have read our most recent blog, then you know that our former Inventory Controller, Barbara Brian has retired from her role at Louisville Switching. Luckily, we have many talented, qualified members of our team that are eager to step into new positions within our company. That is the case with Chris Cassady- our former Parts Coordinator. Read more to find out about his history at Louisville Switching, some personal information about Chris, and his big promotion!

Our team at Louisville Switching would like to take the time to extend our well wishes and congratulations to Barbara Brian. Barbara has been with the company for 4 years this spring as an Inventory Controller.  Her 21 years of industry experience has added a tremendous amount of value to our company since her start with us. We are so grateful for the opportunity to have had her as a part of the Louisville Switching team and want to congratulate her on retirement! Before we see her off, we want to share some information about her position and success with us over the years.

If you are a follower of our blog and social media, then you know we love to take an occasional break from talking about everything Ottawa, and talk about something else we love- great food and dining! For our Louisville area readers, we hope we can share with you some special places we recommend, and for our readers out of town, we hope you will try some of our suggestions when you visit Louisville. Up on the blog this week is a new favorite of ours- The New Albanian Brewery! Located just over the bridge from Louisville in the city of New Albany, The New Albanian has 2 locations with fresh, locally brewed beer and two totally different food menus! We recently made a special visit to one of their locations, The New Albanian Brewing Company Pizzeria & Public House, and we wanted to share about the experience we had as well as some of the history we learned while we were there.
