Cimcorp and Muratec reorganize to enhance competitiveness in North America

Logistics and materials handling specialists Cimcorp North America and Murata Machinery USA, Inc. have forged an alliance, integrating their expertise and capabilities in North America. As pioneers in logistic automation and integration, this strategic alliance between Muratec and Cimcorp North America was created to strengthen their market presence and operational effectiveness.

Technical operations and resources across Charlotte, NC, Atlanta, and Grimsby, ON, will be integrated.

Leveraging a manufacturing legacy of over fifty years, Muratec has successfully built a global presence with thousands of installations and first-to-market innovations. As a result, this strategic alliance is poised to significantly expand the reach and impact of both companies.
