Innovative Rental Programs Columbia/Okura's recent launch of flexible miniPAL like and cobot rental programs presents a significant opportunity to upsell more advanced automation solutions and long-term service contracts to clients seeking scalable and cost-effective end-of-line automation options.

Expanding Product Portfolio The introduction of new robotic minipallet stacking systems and the miniPAL+ demonstrates the company's focus on technological innovation, providing avenues to promote upgraded systems and complementary automation equipment to existing customers aiming for increased efficiency.

Market Expansion Potential With a stable revenue range of $25M to $50M and a focus on custom-engineered end-of-line solutions, there is potential to target mid-sized manufacturing and packaging firms that require tailored automation systems, especially those interested in rental and modular solutions.
