Columbia Machine Inc. Palletizer Div. and Integra Systems have executed a license agreement that will allow Integra Systems to produce Columbia palletizers and load transfer solutions in Brazil.

“We are excited to strengthen our relationship with Integra,” said Pat O’Connor, president of the Columbia Palletizer Div. This will allow the Palletizer Division at Columbia to serve the expanding market in Brazil with complete palletizing and load transfer solutions that are manufactured and serviced from Brazil. Having the local resources and support of such a great partner will be a huge benefit to our customers.”

“The license agreement with Columbia is a major milestone and a natural response to our expanding market in Brazil, allowing Integra to serve clients with greater speed, and lower costs,” said Renato Maia, managing partner of Integra Systems Industria e Comercio Ltda. “Integra is enthusiastic with the opportunity and looks forward to further enhancing Columbia’s reputation and reach locally.”
