Craft brewer automates to grow

摘要

"Seems like Troegs has been under construction since we launched in 1997. we embrace that mindset of constant reevaluation and modifying as we go." That's how John Troegs, who established Troegs Brewery with his brother just before the new millennium, sums up the Pennsylvania craft brewer's history thus far. From modest beginnings they've grown to the point where they produced 55,000 barrels of beer in 2013. Originally located in Harrisburg, the company moved in 2011 to Hershey, PA, a stone's throw from Hersheypark family theme park. Helping Troegs relocate their existing bottling line was Conveyor & Automation Technologies, Inc. whose Mike Tymowczak proved invaluable.
