The Sandridge Food Corporation values it’s relationship with CIFT… Their worldly knowledge on so many subjects is one of the first places we call when challenged with an opportunity for improvement …….. they are leaders in helping our company find the right solutions in these challenging times.

 

Dustin Brinkman
Brinkman’s Cannery and Greenhouse
Cannery Manager

Collaborating with CIFT’s engineering team took a huge burden off my shoulders, freeing me up to do the necessary in-house work that comes with day-to-day operations. The work was quick and efficient, and the system was designed and installed smoothly.

 

Bob Grote

If I don’t know where to turn, I’ll call CIFT. They either have someone on staff to help or they know someone who could. They are a connector that you can trust when you don’t know where to turn.
