Columbia Machine, Inc. has expanded their operation in Mississauga, Canada with the addition of a new Branch Manager and Office in Montreal, Quebec.

Philippe Lafond has joined the Columbia team and will be focusing his efforts on the Canadian market. Philippe comes to Columbia with a wealth of industry and product experience having worked over 10 years with a competitive mold company based in Canada. Philippe is educated as a mechanical engineer and has earned a masters degree in Industrial Manufacturing.  

Columbia currently stocks molds, machine parts and palletizer parts in our Mississauga warehouse. With the addition of Philippe, Columbia increased technical support, engineering services and customer service in the Canadian market.
