Member Companies Begin Joint Venture

Two Midwest manufacturers and Association member companies have begun a joint venture in Brazil.

Allis Roller and HCC, Inc., have begun Allis Roller HCC, an operation that will focus primarily on serving major agricultural equipment manufacturers operating in South America, with the potential to expand into other industries.

Brian Nelson, president of HCC, Inc., said the company is “very excited to take the next step” with Allis Roller in this venture based in Curitiba, Brazil.

“With Allis Roller products and the HCC Curitiba infrastructure, this JV will be a huge success,” he said.

A news release from HCC said the joint venture allows product localization, which provides lower shipping costs, better customer service, and faster response to market changes in South America.

HCC manufactures agricultural harvesting equipment. It started its manufacturing operation in Curitiba in 2012.

Allis Roller manufactures and welds machine parts and rollers for agriculture and other industries.
