Erdman Partners with IGis to Offer Vertical IG Line for the Commercial Market

Erdman Automation Corp.andIGis Co. Ltdare partnering to offer a vertical insulating glass production line targeted at the commercial market in North America. The equipment is being built in Korea with components chosen by Erdman for supportability. Erdman's IG tech group will support all installations from the company’s headquarters in Minnesota.

“We find the commercial market is more mature, and the size of the units predestines the machines to be vertical," said Morgan Donohue, Erdman VP, in a release. "We decided we didn’t need to develop this equipment; we simply needed to source a good design and make it easily supportable in the North American market."

"We nearly partnered with an Italian company two years ago, but the synergies were not right. IGis is the right fit. They are responsive, have robust designs―open to adaptations for our market―are quick to deliver and highly experienced. IGis has built hundreds of vertical lines for the Asian and Australian market over the last 20 years," Donohue continued.

Anatoli Glass and Mirror in Winnipeg, Manitoba, recently purchased the first IGis North American line from Erdman, scheduled for delivery in four months, according to the machinery supplier.
