Corporate Tax Consulting Firm DMA Announces Netherlands Office to Expand European Footprint
DuCharme, McMillen & Associates, Inc. (DMA), an industry-leading corporate tax consulting firm, proudly announces its continued expansion in Europe with a new presence in the Netherlands, DuCharme, McMillen & Associates Netherlands, B.V., that will provide corporate tax technology automation and tax consulting in key European markets.
For companies based in Europe who sell products and services globally, this comes as great news—DMA can now help them navigate the complexities surrounding both global VAT and U.S. sales/use tax. Clients can expect the same global approach to tax technology implementation and integration that DMA has provided to its North American clients for more than 25 years.
DMA's tax experts provide clients in European countries with comprehensive services and solutions, including:
- Value Added Tax (VAT) Consulting and Automation
- U.S. Sales/Use Tax Consulting and Automation
- Tax Technology Implementation and Integration
- Proprietary Software Integration (SAP Utilities)
- Tax Advisory Services
- Customs & Duty Consulting
The expansion of DMA's European footprint is being led by DMA's Managing Director of Tax Technology Operations, Angelo Huertas Torres. DMA's objective is to expand the team rapidly to accommodate the evolving needs of the company's European clients.
"We are seeing that our clients are just as excited as we are about this expansion. Because of our presence and availability in Germany and the Netherlands, we are considered a strong competitor in the European markets of the corporate tax industry," said Managing Director of Tax Technology Operations, Angelo Huertas Torres. "To strengthen our client relationships overseas even more, we also recently joined an alliance group, United VARs. DMA will be readily available and have a more streamlined ability to connect with clients in need of SAP technology solutions."
According to Justin Reinard, DMA's Executive Vice President of Tax Technology, "We find that our European clients with operations in the U.S. can become easily overwhelmed by how complex U.S. taxes can be. We believe that with an expanded European presence, we will be better able to support those clients with their U.S. tax automation needs."
DMA's tax experts collaborate with their clients to connect ERP systems to software solutions that automate tax calculations for sales and purchasing transactions and streamline the associated reporting to the appropriate taxing authorities. This not only reduces the burden on a company's internal tax and accounting teams, but it enhances overall tax compliance while minimizing a company's liability.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - November 15, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Pickle Robot Company ("Pickle Robot"), a pioneer in AI-enabled robotic automation systems that unload trucks, today announced it has live pilot implementations unloading tens of thousands of packages per month at customer sites in the greater Los Angeles area, and has raised $26 million in series A funding led by Ranpak, JS Capital, Schusterman Family Investments, Catapult Ventures, and Soros Capital. Additionally, Pickle Robot has added growth-oriented industry veterans to its leadership team to accelerate commercialization of the company's flagship robotic unload systems.
Founded in 2018, Pickle Robot tackled a number of warehouse challenges using industrial robots built on core AI software, computer vision, and advanced sensors. Today, the company is laser-focused on applying its technology to one of the most labor-intensive, physically demanding, and highest turnover work areas in logistics operations: truck unloading.
United Exchange Corporation ("UEC") is an early customer using the Pickle Robot Unload System. UEC produces, sources, and distributes quality private label and licensed consumer goods and food items sold by retailers around the world. At UEC's Southern California distribution center, the Pickle Robot Unload System processes eligible floor-loaded ocean freight containers alongside UEC staff who use traditional manual processes to unload other trailers at the facility.
"Pickle robots really do unload trucks, or in our case ocean freight containers," said Tom Blaylock, Director of Operations at United Exchange Corporation. "Pickle has been a great partner to work with. We've seen their technology improve month-over-month handling our varied product types and package sizes, plus their team works closely with our staff on site to make sure the daily work gets done on time to quality standards."
Pickle will use the funding to accelerate go-to-market activities and strengthen deployment capabilities. Omar Asali, Chairman and CEO of Ranpak, has joined Pickle's Board of Directors as part of the investment deal. Following this Series A investment round, the company has raised a total of nearly $32 million to date. Previous investors that participated in this funding round included Toyota AI Ventures, Third Kind Venture Capital, Hyperplane Ventures, BoxGroup, and Version One Ventures.
"Unloading freight from trucks and containers is a difficult, sometimes dangerous, and always tedious task that is performed in thousands of locations every day," said Asali. "Operators around the globe are having difficulty filling positions to do this type of work, and Pickle is delivering a real robotic unload system that can help fill the labor gap plaguing the logistics industry."
To help accelerate the commercialization phase of the company, Pickle has expanded its leadership team to include Mike Donikian, Vice President of Product and Product Operations, and Pete Blair, Vice President of Marketing and Sales. Donikian brings a wealth of experience to Pickle from his previous roles launching and growing exceptional teams and products for Wayfair, Amazon Robotics, Amazon Pay, and Alexa. Blair brings go-to-market strategy and execution from his previous roles leading marketing at Berkshire Grey, Applause App Quality, and Kiva Systems/Amazon Robotics.
"Customer interest in Pickle unload systems has been incredibly strong, and now that we have our initial unload systems out of the lab and into customer operations, we have a clear path to broad commercialization," said AJ Meyer, founder and CEO of Pickle Robot Company. "The early customer deployments, financing, and leadership additions set the stage for us to accelerate customer acquisition and build the company infrastructure we need to deliver more systems to more customers in the coming months."

Many of those trucks and containers are floor-loaded which means people need to manually handle every package — work that is difficult, dirty, sometimes dangerous, and increasingly hard to staff. Pickle Robot is laser-focused on automating trailer and container unloading using AI, machine learning, computer vision, advanced sensors, and industrial robotics to deliver engineered products customers can rely on. Pickle Robot Unload Systems work with people on loading docks to make the work safer, faster, and more efficient. Pickle robots unload trucks. For more information, visit www.picklerobot.com.
