Movers & Shakers in Material Handling | Blueprint CFO Presents: Future Focused Entrepreneurs

From living room enterprise to a multi-million-dollar business, Quality Material Handling started out as a husband-and-wife-operated business founded on the principles of hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence. With a combined experience of over 32 years in the material handling industry, Hector and Brenda Pinto have built a reputation for supplying top-quality services, solutions, and products for every customer.

Hector had extensive experience in closing sales, meeting delivery deadlines, establishing and managing customer relations, and performing installations; while Brenda brings her ability in team management, leadership, resilience and managing all QMH’s finances & legal matters that led them to their success today.
