WATERLOO, ONTARIO – March 4, 2024 – BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) today announced a three-year co-operative agreement with intermodal container chassis manufacturer, Max-Atlas. The deal between the two Canadian industry leaders will make BlackBerry Radar® asset tracking and monitoring technologies available for installation during manufacture of Max-Atlas’ range of products.
