Crest Ink - Volume 27 - Number 02

our start. As she described the wallpaper she helped Jay Meiners hang in his office, it was humbling to say the least. If walls could talk! The lab planning and construction took us over a year. We wanted to make sure that we were getting the most out of the space. Not only is the lab more functional, but we have created an ambiance that allows plenty of room for creativity. The entire lab staff was involved in picking out colors, countertops, and even paintings on the walls. They are still getting used to the new facility, but have hit the ground running. Imagine doubling the space in your kitchen, moving everything, and then trying to find the cheese grater! The extra space will eventually allow for our equipment and ingredient storage to be more efficient. Some of the other enhancements include: brand new scales, new ovens, new stove tops, a warming tray system, a wet processing room, an extended shelf life room, an aromatic ventilation system, and a new customer presentation and conference room. We are confident that this new facility will allow for us to react to just about anything our customers throw at us. As the Consumer Products division continues to grow, this new enhancement will allow for us to keep pushing even further.
