Colmar: manufactured in Italy, trusted worldwide.Humble Beginnings Humble Beginnings was an American pop punk band from New Jersey. While never gaining large-scale success, many of the band's members went on to mainstream success with other outfits. Colmar Colmar, Ger. Kolmar (both: kôlmär`), city (1990 pop. 64,889), capital of Haut-Rhin dept., E France, in Alsace. It is connected by rail and canal to Strasbourg, Mulhouse, and Basel, Switzerland. began in the Veneto region of Italy shortly after World War II with one man's vision to use parts leftover from U.S. Army vehicles to build tractors for the agricultural industry. Shortly afterward af·ter·ward also af·ter·wards adv. At a later time; subsequently. Adv. 1. afterward - happening at a time subsequent to a reference time; "he apologized subsequently"; "he's going to the store but he'll be back here , Colmar added a line of cranes to its agricultural equipment line. Turning its attention toward manufacturing more sophisticated cranes, Colmar soon left agricultural applications behind, focusing instead on the scrap metal recycling recycling, the process of recovering and reusing waste products—from household use, manufacturing, agriculture, and business—and thereby reducing their burden on the environment. segment of the heavy equipment industry. In 1975, the company added a line of railroad railroad or railway, form of transportation most commonly consisting of steel rails, called tracks, on which freight cars, passenger cars, and other rolling stock are drawn by one locomotive or more. cranes to its equipment offering. In time, as the company's reputation for manufacturing reliable and efficient equipment spread, Colmar's bright yellow machines captured 80 percent of the Italian market and a substantial share of the European European emanating from or pertaining to Europe.

Expanded Focus Leadership changes at Colmar in the 1990s lead the company into new markets. Dr. Carlo Bortoletti, Colmar's new president, wanted to expand the company's reach and its array of products. He chose to add scrap metal balers to the Colmar line up, a natural fit for the yards that already used Colmar's cranes.

Marceglia says Colmar thought its new shear/balers could grow to be the largest portion of the company's business. Indeed, shear/balers have accounted for 60 percent to 70 percent of Colmar's sales in the last seven years. Colmar was not only expanding its line of products, the company was also growing its international reach. In response to the new demand from markets outside Italy, Colmar started to build a new production facility next to its old one in the Veneto region in 1999. By the end of 2003, Colmar had already doubled its production capacity in response to growing demand in America, the former Soviet Republics and Japan, Marceglia says. Baler/Loggers Colmar had to make a few changes to its established designs to accommodate the needs of the American market. For instance, Colmar's 5260 baler is a best seller worldwide, but its 16-1/2-foot charge box is smaller than that preferred by many U.S. scrap yards scrap yard n → depósito de chatarra; (for cars) → cementerio de coches scrap yard n → parc m à ferrailles; ( . Marceglia says, "We realized that, particularly in the south, the American cars required a bigger box." In response to America's larger scrapped vehicles, Colmar created the 5.5260 baler, which features an 18-foot charge box. Colmar's balers also offer automatic cycling and remote-control operation.

The unit includes a 20-foot charge box on the baler side. The shear can cut through steel up to 3.5 inches thick, including structural steel from construction or demolition Demolition is the opposite of construction: the tearing-down of buildings and other structures.

"The baler I am using is doing a great job," owner Harold Erb says. "This machine is huge, but fast and reliable. It is easy to operate and to maintain," Marceglia says." It is a real money maker. Every customer is so happy, they are spreading the word. That's the best form of advertising possible." Cranes "The way Americans use cranes is a bit different than Europeans," Marceglia says, adding that Americans often prefer magnets, while Europeans favor grapples. "Americans also like much longer booms with respect to the weight of the unit," he adds. With these preferences in mind, Colmar is redesigning its cranes for the U.S. market. "By the end of 2004, we will have a complete line of products for America," Marceglia says. Those yards already operating Colmar's cranes are pleased with the performance of their units.

"It's the fastest machine I have been using since I've been in the business," he says of his model-403 crane. COLMAR'S COMMITMENT In 2002, as a result of Colmar's commitment to the U.S. market, the company created Colmar USA--a fully owned subsidiary of Colmar S.p.A.--in Buffalo, N.Y. Within 18 months, Colmar USA had sold more than 50 machines, Marceglia says. U.S. customers are responding to the value Colmar machines represent. "We have a good product at the right price," he says. The company also has the industry knowledge required to build effective and reliable machinery. "We know what scrap yards are all about," Marceglia says. Colmar also knows what it's like to start small and grow to become a company with a worldwide presence. Because of Colmar's own humble beginnings, the company is willing to finance buyers at smaller yards who may not be able to get financing from other sources, Marceglia says. Customer service also takes high priority at Colmar. It was especially critical when the company was establishing Colmar USA and experiencing the growing pains grow·ing pains pl.n.
