Niagara Bottling’s new 600,000-sq.-ft. production and distribution facility in Rialto, Calif., manufactures and distributes 120,000 bottles of water per hour. Supporting this throughput are 56 laser-guided vehicles, integrated with a 33,000-position robotic pallet shuttle storage system. Designed and built by E80 Group, the distribution automation operates 24/7/365.
The parties agreed necessary approvals and closing conditions to effectuate the business combination are no longer expected to be completed in the timetable set in an MOU.
Regional channel partner managers Jim Adamski and Collin Ayres and technical support engineer Chris Hapsias will support Kassow Robots' sales partners, system integrators and distributors in the U.S.
The expansion will include new state-of-the-art bun and roll lines which will add 30 to 40% capacity and will fully utilize recently expanded shipping docks, refrigeration and freezer capabilities.
