Columbia Machine's oldest palletizer contest

Company tries to find the oldest machine.

In honor of

Columbia Machine’s (http://www.palletizing.com:8081) 75 year celebration, a contest is being held to identify the oldest operating Columbia palletizer. The customer that is identified to have the oldest operating Columbia palletizer will receive a $10,000 parts credit as well as a free Columbia customer care visit. In addition, there will be a “participation drawing prize” given for $7,500 parts credit. This will be rewarded regardless of the manufactured date.

The oldest operating palletizer contest began on March 1, 2012 and will run until July 1, 2012. During this period, all Columbia customers are invited to submit their machines into the contest. We are ending the campaign on July 1st in order to allow enough time to visit the customer location, verify machine details and confirm the equipment is running. The winning customer will be recognized at the 75 Years celebration at Columbia Machine, Inc. on Aug. 18th.
