We receive an average of twelve new inquiries per month. <br /> We try to accommodate these prospective businesses although it may mean they only have access to <br /> the facility on nights and weekends. The downside is that this demand limits our ability to provide key <br /> services such as bottling, blast freezing, packaging, storage, and distribution. While we have the <br /> expertise and the equipment, we don't have the space to offer these services. <br /> WHAT SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY PIEDMONT FOOD PROCESSING CENTER? <br /> Business Coaching Assistance with Regulatory Guidance on Packaging& <br /> Issues Labeling <br /> Preparation for Help with Sourcing and Advice on Working with <br /> Regulatory Inspections Controlling Costs of Goods Distributors and Retailers <br /> Advice on Equipment and Networking Opportunities with Referrals to Qualified <br /> Manufacturing Processes Potential Partners Professional Services <br /> Notifications on Grants Introductions to Local Retailers Preparations for moving beyond <br /> and Loan Programs PFPC <br /> 4 <br /> 9/14/23 <br />
