Cherry’s Industrial Equipment: Founded in 1982 and located in Roselle, IL, initially to market the pallet inverter, a new material-handling equipment developed to turn entire pallet loads over to safely recover and replace broken bags of fertilizer, sugar, and other dry products. However, this little "niche" product soon became a must-have for all material handlers. As a result, the Cherry's-brand inverters now touch hundreds of products daily, from Campbell's soup to lottery tickets, from ATMs to cosmetics. Cherry's product lineup, all made in America, includes Pallet inverters, Plastic pallets, 90° tippers, Roller skids, Pallet dispensers, Lifting tables, and Pallet washers. Known as a trustworthy company that sells various products, Cherry's is, first and foremost, an engineering company that solves workflow problems and safety issues and creates ergonomic solutions. "The bottom line is to have the plan to address safety and stick to it."

 

“Only through GGOB were we able to pay down debt at an accelerated rate, payout bonuses, conserve cash during a pandemic and begin to build a war chest for future use,” says CEO John Costello. Cherry’s also established an Ownership Culture Committee (OCC) in 2021, which led the way in helping cement six core values for the organization that everyone from the bottom up agreed on: Exceed Expectations, Elevate Others, Build Relationships, Do the Right Thing Always, Enjoy What You Do, and Take Ownership. “Now we review our core values before every meeting and huddle as we live and breathe our values every day,” says Costello.
