Value Delivered
Quaker developed a new process to fill their EDGE bottles. This new bottle also utilized a new “mouth twist” cap, specifically designed for the EDGE bottle. With this new technology, Quaker was very determined to get the project done quickly. The project went from concept (Greenfield—literally bean field) to producing Gatorade out the door in less than 12 months. Project speed was of utmost importance, so Shambaugh “turbo-tracked” this project.
Client Objectives
The client wanted to build a new 225,000-square-foot production area at the Indianapolis facility to house four high-speed Gatorade lines capable of filling various sized bottles.
