Customer Testimonials

Thank you for all your hard work and flexibility on the project, Josh! We really appreciate your dedication to making sure the citric acid skid was a success with the changes. I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Specific Shout out to Jerry and Jaime: Was able to have full trust with them on site that the job was being handled. For the amount of work that was done we had minimal to really no significant operational interruptions and when there was it was all hands on deck. A+ crew – Would be happy to work with them at any point.
Michael M.
I appreciate very much the great support you (Vidya) and the team (Food and Beverage) have provided and look forward to introducing the final product to the FL team in Plano. Big thanks to Quincy (Rock Star!!) for helping us take this to the next level. He has delivered and exceeded expectations!
Rogers W.
I just wanted to say that the extra programming I2R was tasked with (unload throttle/ unload and mezz jam counters) have already been utilized and proven very effective in being able to control our building as well as a tool to identifying jam issues. Your crew did an outstanding job!!! I just wanted to say thanks.
Frank V.
I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your hard work and dedication to this project. This past weekend was a successful and what I would call “refreshing” weekend conversion…When your team completes a job like this you not only meet my expectations but the Purple promise of FedEx Ground. As we continue this project and more challenging conversions ahead continue to build on these principles and we will all be successful.
