Volm Companies, Inc. has announced that its partner, Manter International BV, has acquired shares of Solidtec. Solidtec has been manufacturing gantry-style palletizing systems for fresh produce and other markets since 1999. The merger results in a more cohesive process for customers wanting a single source for packaging and end-of-the-line solutions, according to Volm.
Volm will complement its portfolio of palletizing offerings with both robotic and now conventional palletizing systems. Volm has been manufacturing custom robotic palletizing solutions since the company opened its Ancaster, Ontario, Canada, facility in 2016.
All companies will continue to operate independently.
