tions with personnel in the Dairy Science program at North Carolina State University. They quickly hit on the idea of using steam-producing equipment and thought through the basic technical requirements.“The NC State engineers led us to the Clayton Industries technology. It was the equipment for the job,” Henry said. He continued: “What appealed most about Clayton was that it’s an instant- on system that takes very little time to produce steam. The small footprint was a real plus for space require- ments, it was very easy to assemble, and it was safe. We’ll never have to worry about a steam explosion.”

Bringing a new process in-house meant building a new company home for Goodberry’s. Harry first worked with a local engineering firm to design the process and needed scale for the desired facility, then in 2016 began construction at the new location in Wake Forest. “We helped them every step of the way,” said Clayton’s Will Brozowski. “Goodberry’s is only getting more popular, so they want to be ready for more production capacity. They were tempted by our 200-boiler horse- power (BHP) steam generator, which is bigger than they need right now. Instead we found a way to save them
