My consulting company primary focus is on the PET bottling and packaging industry, from raw material sourcing to finish bottled product ready for distribution. Supporting customers, vendors and equipment suppliers with a wide range of services. From equipment review and recommendation to system layout and implementation. I specialize in new product line start up and provide cost effective technical solutions to get your product on the shelf at the lowest possible cost. I also support technical training and start-up of operations for a wide range of blowing, filling technology. And I've implemented and trained operations on Lean mfg, and continuous improvements that have a direct effect on the bottom line. With 17+ years of experience at the table within the PET packaging, having worked for the three of the four largest co-packing equipment suppliers (Husky, Sidel and KHS). I've also worked with co-polymers for extrusion systems and oxygen scavenging additives and materials for sensitive products such as wines and fruit juices.

Identifying, sourcing and qualifying all components required for a complex beverage manufacturing. Supporting new product launch, from R&D phase through production. Managing cost effective solutions and establishing lasting relationships with key suppliers to ensure the highest quality while achieving COGS at the lowest scrap rates. All of the above statements are more than a mouth full, but I've successfully launched 5 water base SKU, with 6 100% organic shelf stable product, and now 3 energy drink (also 100% organic) all within a 24 month period. New brand owners and developers need quick solutions to get to market before the competition plow you under. I am a stronger believer in selecting the right vendors that can deliver quality and service while a brand grows, trips and matures. Vs. seeking the lowest cost. You only have one chance to get it right, and cost cutting should never be on the table for any startups. Only cost control.
