EXO Technologies and Columbia Machine Works Form Strategic Alliance
03/27/2015 - EXO Technologies and Columbia Machine announce the formation of a strategic alliance for sales and marketing of their complementary product lines.
Columbia Machine Works provides products and services to electric arc furnace (EAF) and electrode manufacturing companies. EXO Technologies develops innovative combustion, injection, sampling and electrode torque and handling systems for the global steel industry.
“By integrating our product offerings into a cohesive package, we offer steelmakers a complete solution for all electrode-handling requirements,” said Mark Koenig, president, EXO Technologies. “And if customers have custom requirements, we can modify or invent new solutions.”
“This alliance allow us to collaborate on the development of new steelmaking equipment and technologies combining EXO’s design knowhow with CMW’s design and fabrication expertise,” said John K. Langsdon III, president and CEO, Columbia Machine Works. “We believe our relationship is a perfect fit, and we look forward to working together for the mutual benefit of our customers.”
Founded in 1927 and headquartered in Columbia, Tenn., Columbia Machine Works provides a full line of safe and reliable below-the-hook devices and recently commercialized a revolutionary Electrode Torque Station. All products are designed and manufactured to stringent ASME, NEMA, and CE standards. CMW also offers inspection, certification and repair services for rigging and below-the-hook devices. A lawsuit between CMW and Contractors & Industrial Supply Company (CIS) was recently dismissed, allowing CMW to continue to market and sell electrode lifting and handling products directly to customers.
CMW has one of the best-equipped contract machine, fabrication and industrial services facilities in the United States. Repair and fabrication services for EAFs, casters and rolling mills are available on request.
Formed in 1998 and headquartered in Cedarburg, Wisc., EXO Technologies manufactures the industry leading Robo-Torque™ On Furnace Electrode Addition System and the Robo-Test™ Auto Steel Test System. Both systems were developed to reduce accidents and injuries in melting plants.
