Expanded headquarters, new hires enhance local support in key markets

(SHANGHAI: Oct. 28, 2014)—Intelligrated® (www.intelligrated.com), a leading automated material handling solutions provider, announces the expansion of its international operations in China, Brazil and Canada to enhance customer support and increase market penetration. The company has moved its regional headquarters to newer, more modern spaces in each of the three countries, with additional capacity to accommodate new hires.


The expansions play a key role in Intelligrated's strategy to strengthen local partnerships and connect customers with solutions that provide the right mix of automation and software to meet unique operational requirements. The Chinese office moved to a new location in Shanghai, the 28th floor of the Jing An Kerry Center Tower 3, located at 1228 Yan'An Zhong Road. In Brazil, Intelligrated relocated to the seventh floor of 350 Avenida Cauaxi in Barueri, São Paulo. The company moved one of its Canadian offices to a larger space at 7025 Langer Drive in Mississauga, Ontario.

"The investment in new facilities for our international operations supports Intelligrated's goal of building close, collaborative relationships with customers in key international markets," said Bob Wilson, vice president, international operations. "Expanded operations on the ground allow us to provide responsive support and gain a deep understanding of each customer's unique challenges and match them with the right solution."

Intelligrated has grown to more than 2,600 associates worldwide and maintains an international presence in Canada, China, Mexico and Brazil. The company appointed a new general director for its Mexico operation in June and continues to hire local staff at its Mexico City office.
