What better way to understand the impact our solutions have on packaging operations than by seeing our equipment live on a shop floor? Last week, our 2024 intern class (and some chaperones) had the opportunity to get some first-hand experience with our equipment during a visit to Cargill’s Food Solutions' Protein Processing Plant in North Kingstown, Rhode Island! This group did a full walkthrough of the plant and learned about our equipment from the perspective of our end-users. It's not always easy to visualize your impact in a B2B setting, but experiences like these help our teams recognize the value of their work. Cargill's willingness to facilitate this learning opportunity for our interns just goes to show that we don't generate business at Harpak-ULMA, rather, we generate relationships. A special thanks to Mel Stupell and her team for hosting this tour and for giving our interns an insightful look into your operations! https://hubs.ly/Q02HtZVr0 Kristen Cantella Adam Roach #Cargill #PackagingExcellence #ProteinPackaging #SummerInternship
