Harris Battery is the proud distributor of award-winning Crown Battery Manufacturing, which recently received the honor of Supplier of the Year by Club Car/Ingersoll Rand Company. The George H. Inman Supplier-Executive of the Year award was presented at the golf car and utility vehicle manufacturer’s annual supplier awards ceremony. The award recognizes a company that exceeds Club Car/Ingersoll Rand Company’s standards in product quality and support. It is the highest honor given by the company. “It’s a great honor for Harris Battery to see our partner, Crown Battery, receive such distinguished recognition,” said Jerry Harris, founder and president of Harris Battery. “Crown Battery has put a great investment into developing the best batteries for Club Car and has worked closely with Harris Battery to ensure efficient logistics and custom accessory options for optimum battery performance. We look forward to growing with Crown Battery and continuing to provide the best service to Club Car for many years to come.” Founded in 1979, Harris Battery is headquartered in Bolivar. With nine regional warehouses located throughout the United States, Harris Battery is the leading Crown Battery distributor. “Harris Battery has proven to be a great match for Crown Battery over the years,” said Hal Hawk, CEO and president of Crown Battery. “This award signifies the success of our common desire to provide our customers with leading technologies and efficient delivery processes. We are grateful to Harris Battery for being a great partner of Crown Battery and helping us achieve this honor.” Club Car was founded in 1958, and Crown Battery is the first battery supplier ever selected to receive its highest honor. Crown earned this award after only two years of working with Club Car. “In the two years Crown Battery has worked as a supplier to Club Car, they have consistently demonstrated the essence of ‘Partnering Excellence’ in how they advance their business relationship with Club Car,” said Club Car president and CEO Gary Michael. “This award represents the best picture of Club Car’s supplier community and was awarded to Hal Hawk and Crown Battery Manufacturing in recognition of the strong values and support demonstrated by their team throughout the past year. Crown Battery is a company that understands and is committed to partnership with Club Car and we are proud to present this award to them.” “Crown Battery is fortunate we’ve been able to bring more good jobs to the community at a time when many companies are downsizing,” said Hawk. “Our partnership with Club Car has benefited both companies. They have pushed us to constantly innovate and refine our production processes. Together, we’ve improved upon industry-leading, advanced-technology lead-acid batteries to provide longer battery life, greater reliability, and increased value.
