We are excited to announce that our Food & Beverage group and capabilities have expanded. We recently hired a team of senior packaging engineers and opened a new Mead & Hunt office in Champaign, Illinois, under the management of James Yoakum, PE.
New Service: Packaging Solutions
Bringing on this new team of engineers introduces a new service line to the Food & Beverage group. Yoakum’s team of 12 specializes in providing full-service packaging solutions for food and beverage manufacturers. They have extensive experience with new lines, reconfigurations, equipment replacements, system integration/automation, speed improvements, factory acceptance testing/startup support, and overall optimization.
“We are thrilled to join Mead & Hunt,” said Yoakum. “Our team is eager to collaborate and innovate, bringing our packaging and cGMP infrastructure experience to enhance the services and solutions the Food & Beverage team already offers clients.”
