Handling
German to English

corporate departments (?)
Hi folks,
I know, Denglish, but this is the first time I have encountered this one. It appears to be a company department and I know of no departments (at least in the USA) called 'Handling.' So, if somebody has come across this before, let me know. And, no, I really do not want to entertain suggestions of 'Handling' unless you have non-translated, mother tongue English references.
The text is talking about replacing parts on a machine. The preceding sentence talks about replacing the 'Dichtring' and then comes this:
Bezogen auf den Dichtring existieren zahlreiche unterschiedliche Varianten im Handling.
The following sentence talks about eliminating one size of seal ring for the sake of standardizing their products
So it sounds to me like they are telling the customer that they have several versions of the seal ring in this 'Handling' department. Or is this an Englishized 'im Handel'?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Handel
I think it has to be this - "im Handel" means "on the market".

: My gut feeling, too, but must obviously be clarified with the client.

Comment: "Hi Phil (and everybody else),
I know, there was not much to go on with this one. I have put it as a question to the customer, but I do not hope for much of an answer -- they usually come back only as a complaint.
I appreciate everyone taking the time to read and comment/answer this one. It confirmed my suspicion that it was not some sort of new usage.
I am not putting this in the glossary as I do not expect to EVER see this again.
Thanks to everybody once again."

purchasing department
Judging by the sources below and others, I am guessing that a purchasing department (Bestellabteilung) handles these type of things.

diversification
Ich ersehen das so, dass es beim Produkt "Dichtring" sehr viele unterschiedliche Arten, Größen, Formen, Materialien und Ausführungen gibt, also sehr stark diversifiziert ist, und deshalb normiert und vereinheitlicht werden muss. Das Stichwort lautet demnach "Diversifizierung"

Discussion
PS: Yes, I could've chosen "hat"--but how many times do you see someone wearing a hat these days?
//
Can you please explain to the community, what a "Sally reference" is?
They intend to standardize seal products and not every seal is used/installed in the same way; "on the market" sounds odd to me. If you say "im Handel," it's typically either "im Einzelhandel" or "im Fachhandel." But how much sense does this make in context? Do you think they have someone run to OBI and ask for a new seal?!?
As Germans like to say: I'll eat a broomstick if this is a mistake for "market."
Maybe I should buy one already, but I don't know; this just sounds off (to me).
Best wishes
