Paint and Coatings Manufacturing

Whether you roll it, spray it, or brush it, the paint industry is as varied as the applications and substrates on which it is placed. If you make powder coatings, traffic markings, or marine coatings, the regulatory requirements follow you from material acquisition to customer delivery. We know MSDS, AQMD, and DOT mandates with confidence. Purchase it by the pound, store it by the drum or measure it by the gallon, we know the specific gravity with which you take your business.

Cosmetics Manufacturing

Consider moisturizing creams in jars, tanning lotions in tubes, hair-care products in bottles, mascara and lip-gloss in brush vials, then packaged in kits, gift baskets created under various manufacturing arrangements. Then comply with trading partner requirements for shipping, bar coding, RFID and EDI transactions, co-op marketing arrangements and the complexity of this manufacturing sector begins to comes to light. Our consultants know thy industry.

Food Manufacturing, Distribution

Processed foods, beverages, milk-based products, condiments, spices and additives have special and complex requirements. Manufacturing processes from inventory control to plant floor routing operations are unlike any industry. Where else can you route based on old-time religion? Kosher requirements define the sequence of processes and selection of ingredients. Add lot control, bar-code labeling, quality control and regulatory requirements like HACCP and the need for a specialized solution becomes even more demanding. Consider demanding distribution arrangements by trading partners with EDI, RFID, pallet control and lot recall requirements and we highlight further the unique and challenging demands any integrated solution must meet.
