Hartness and Vertique join forces

Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW), has announced that Vertique, a leading global producer of automated warehouse solution, will join forces with Hartness International and will become part of the Hartness' existing consumer packaging businesses, operating as Hartness Vertique Warehouse Automation.
