Robotics Business Review Profiles Seegrid and American Packaging Corp.

June 3, 2012 - PRLog -- Seegrid technology has helped American Packaging transform industrial vehicles into unmanned, automated pallet trucks and tow tractors that operate without a need for wire, tape, laser or other automated guided vehicle guidance systems.

Recently Robotics Business Review reviewed the role of Seegrid’s Robotic Industrial trucks at American Packaging.  Jeff Koch, the company's operations manager, reference that the recent expansion means 47 new jobs for the company and capacity for $30 million a year in additional sales. In 2012, the Columbus division is expected to have $150 million in sales, more than double from 10 years ago, and it will produce more than 1 billion lineal feet of packaging products.
"This plant has consistently delivered on the ROI (return on investment)," Koch said. "We execute. What we say we're going to do, we've done. We have proven over 40 years that this group and this team is a very good investment."
