BOLD Robotics acquires rights to Posie Packer products — Posie Packer Corp
GUELPH, Ontario – March 6, 2021 – PRLog — John Vandergrift of Posie Packer Corp, is pleased to announce that BOLD Robotic Solutions of Ontario, has acquired all rights to the top two products that Posie Packer marketed successfully – the Bouquet Organizer/Power Cutter and the Produce Bag/Sleeve Label Applicator. Bill VandenOever of BOLD stated, “This acquisition will allow us to expand into another sector of the floral industry. Our current products, the Potted Plant Packaging Cell or the Pot Cover UPC Applicator focuses on potted plants. Posie Packer’s proven products focus on processing fresh cut flowers and bouquets – reducing the labour content. Now we can address both potted plants and cut flowers segments.This acquisition also fits with our plans to expand into the international market, beyond the Canadian portion of the industry. Reliable and cost-effective machinery, which can reduce labour costs per unit of production, is a worldwide issue. Posie Packer has had over 35 years of experience in these markets and will be a valuable resource going forward.”
John Vandergrift stated “I am pleased to have found a Canadian company so close to me, that has the capability to take over these two popular products which I developed and sold. This continuity is vital to past customers who trusted me to purchase Canadian floral processing equipment. Although the European floral market and the North American floral market appear similar, there are characteristics which make each distinct. It is very gratifying to me to have this tradition continue under the auspices of Bill, Willem, and BOLD Robotic Solutions. I will be working closely with BOLD and their staff during this transition.”
