The Winner of the Oldest Operating Palletizer Contest

In honor of Columbia Machine’s 75 year celebration, a contest was held to identify the oldest operating Columbia palletizer.


The oldest operating palletizer contest began on March 1, 2012 and ran until July 1, 2012.

During this period, all Columbia customers were invited to submit their machines into the contest.

The campaign ended on July 1st in order to allow enough time to visit the customer location, verify machine details and confirm the equipment is running.

We found the oldest operating Columbia palletizer in the world - Mt. Olive, NC at Mt. Olive Pickle Co.

Please enjoy the short interview and brief footage of this 30+ year old machine operating!
