The holiday season, from Halloween to New Year’s Day, centers around food for so many people. From a caramel apple that people savor once a year to that seasonal craft beer with a holiday meal, special foods and beverages hold a place of honor for everyone this time of year.

For those of us in the food and beverage industry, we can take great pride in our contributions to people’s food traditions. In some ways, our work helps bring people together. When they sit down together to share a treat or a family celebration over food, they talk, they connect, and they make memories.

We at Wright Process Systems are proud of our work, and year-end is a great time to stop and remember the successes that have brought us to where we are today:

• Our relationships with our customers and our partners are of particular importance to us, and we are honored that we had the chance to work with each of you this past year. Thank you for your continued collaboration.
• We continue to work with our partners and customers to develop energy-saving and water-saving systems, and we are proud of our work this year to help California producers meet tightening water restrictions.
• As trends change, we help our customers adapt. We have helped many customers branch into or expand their healthy and natural foods lines with process systems and designs to meet those changing needs.
• We love supporting new food companies, and we have helped several brand-new food or beverage producers launch their facilities and products this past year. We look forward to supporting even more food start-ups in the coming year.
• The updates to the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) have impacted everyone in the industry, and we are committed to staying abreast of the latest developments and helping our customers understand and meet the new compliance rules.

Again, thank you for your continued work with Wright Process Systems. We wish you and yours a healthy, happy and prosperous holiday season and New Year.
