Brewhouse OEMs Are Struggling With High Costs

Rising costs for controls outsourced to China due to tariffs and shipping affect Brewhouse OEMs’ ability to provide for their customers. Along with the rising costs are delays from overseas logistics, leading to late deliveries. Think-PLC provides Brewhouse OEMs with brewing-focused controls design/build capabilities manufactured in the US at our 79,000 square foot facility with our advanced equipment.

“But for the most part, if it’s a random project out there I’m calling Bobby… I know that if Bobby works on the project, it’s going to be done and it will be done right.”
Ed Montgomery, Siemens

“And really, you guys provide this level of being able to think outside of the box a little bit with the design and that was really captured with the catch robot that you guys did for our catch facility. And really, from there it made us think internally, why wouldn’t we use Think-PLC a little bit more.”
