web site

Columbus McKinnon has launched a web site for customers outside of the United States.

The site, www.cminternational.com, follows web site marketing in Mexico and Brazil by Columbus McKinnon subsidiaries.

“The site is intended to make it easier for potential customers to obtain product information and learn how to get in contact with distribution,” said CM international sales division managing director Craig Johnston.
