Advanced Equipment Company sells complete automated integration
For Advanced Equipment Company, it’s always been
about customer service.
Upon purchasing an existing business and opening
anew in Charlotte, N.C. in 1960, owner Herman Pfief-
er’s mission was create an entity whose reputation
would be based not only on its expertise in storage
and handling, but also on an unyielding desire to find
ethical client-specific solutions.
Pfiefer’s eventual ownership successor, Larry Aber-
nathy, was on the warehouse staff at the time of the
corporate transition and stayed on with the new en-
terprise before ultimately climbing the ladder under
Pfiefer’s mentorship and helping usher in a new era of
all-around systems work.
