Who we work with
We work with dairy and food businesses at every stage, from early planning to established operations running several shifts a day.

We help new ventures plan the plant, choose equipment, design the process, and set a realistic budget and timeline.
Family dairies and creameries
We support expansion, new product lines and modernization, while protecting the products and practices your customers already value.
Small and mid-size processors
We help with scale-up, waste reduction, quality consistency and staff training.
Farmstead and artisan producers
We help small producers move from small-batch production to retail scale.
Brand owners and co-packer clients
We develop formulations and specifications, and help select and manage co-manufacturers.
Private equity, lenders and acquirers
We provide independent technical due diligence and project valuation.
Established plants facing problems
We look into quality complaints, shelf-life issues, low yields and rising costs, and help put lasting fixes in place.
We work with dairy and food businesses across the U.S. and Canada.
