“Sterling Consulting was recommended to us by Snakking to help define Universal Foods opportunities in the processing and packaging areas. Steve Day was very quickly able to recognize our needs and expedite plans to address them. The most critical issue at that time being the inordinate amount of labor needed in our packaging operation. Sterling provided vendor options on Semi Automatic machinery for carton packaging along with an optimal layout utilizing limited available space.
