50 anos da Columbus – e um olhar para o futuro

Em maio de 2026, celebramos um aniversário especial: 50 anos de prensas a vácuo da Columbus


O que começou em 1976 com uma ideia é hoje uma empresa que, a nível mundial, é sinónimo de segurança nas aplicações, inovação e parceria genuína.
Mas por trás destes 50 anos está, acima de tudo, uma coisa: uma história de pessoas.


Veja por si mesmo o que define a Columbus hoje:

Um momento pessoal
Este aniversário é para mim também uma ocasião muito pessoal.
O meu pai, Günther Vetter, fundou a Columbus e, com a sua visão, lançou as bases para tudo o que hoje é possível.
Com a invenção do saco de vácuo, ele não criou apenas um produto – mas uma abordagem totalmente nova.
Querido pai, obrigado pela tua coragem, pela tua clareza e pelo teu espírito pioneiro.
Sem ti, esta história não existiria.


O que nos move há 50 anos – e hoje nos torna mais fortes do que nunca
O que distingue a Columbus não é apenas a tecnologia.
É a combinação de experiência, desenvolvimento contínuo e o claro compromisso de proporcionar segurança real aos nossos clientes:
50 anos de conhecimento de aplicação acumulado.
Soluções que se adaptam à operação – e não o contrárioUm sistema que combina tecnologia, prática e inteligência artificial.
Porque, no fim de contas, não se trata de máquinas.
O que importa é o que você torna possível com elas.


E é exatamente por isso que este aniversário não é uma retrospectiva – mas sim uma promessa
Os próximos anos serão ainda mais emocionantes.
Novas possibilidades, novas aplicações, novas oportunidades para empresas que querem estar à frente.
E estamos ansiosos por continuar a percorrer este caminho consigo.


O que é que isto significa concretamente para si?
Se hoje está a pensar em alargar as suas possibilidades ou em seguir novos caminhos, então este é o momento certo para falarmos sobre isso.
Vamos descobrir juntos o que faz realmente sentido para a sua empresa.

A sua
Ruth Christine Koppenberger
Proprietária e Diretora Executiva
