A World Class Vision

Two years ago, Stauber Performance Ingredients, Inc. had a vision for their recently acquired facility in Florida, New York. Under the leadership of Executive Steve Graham, the entire Stauber team developed a strategy to take their "good" ingredients manufacturer to "world class" status over the next three to five years.

World Class Resources for a World Class Manufacturer

The food-pharma-cosmetic ingredient industry is thriving in the Hudson Valley thanks to the visionary leadership of Stauber Performance Ingredients, Inc.'s Executive Management supported by the staff and engineers of the Hudson Valley Technology Development Center (HVTDC). For the past two years, the Florida, NY manufacturer has performed a large-scale facility upgrade, numerous process and equipment improvements, and software development as they pave their way toward world class stature.


Senior Strategic Business Advisor, Jim Kehoe, and the HVTDC team might have thought a near-complete overhaul and revamp of such a large manufacturing facility beyond their capabilities two years ago, but not anymore.  

Click here to read the full story on how HVTDC's diverse support services have helped Stauber make their vision a reality on the road to becoming a world class supplier of high quality ingredients and innovative solutions.
