Description

In the early 1960s, Columbia Machine hosted an open house for local dignitaries and community business leaders. During a tour of the plant, the owner of Lucky Brewery in Vancouver saw a machine stacking concrete blocks on a pallet. Intrigued, he asked us if we could apply the same principle to stacking cases of beer onto a pallet. We accepted the challenge, engineering and building the industry's first floor-level case palletizer. This innovative new machine was the start of a new manufacturing division at Columbia, the Palletizer Division. For over 45 years, the Palletizer division at Columbia has concentrated on serving eight major industries with palletizing solutions: food, consumer products, building products, paper, bottling, chemical, automotive and government. Today, our client list includes many prestigious Fortune 200 companies who palletize everything from paper towels and laundry detergent to fruit juice, dog food and chicken.
