Cheese packaging and distribution with integrated manufacturing operations
Masters Gallery Foods operates a 1,000+ person cheese packaging and distribution business built on legacy manufacturing systems—UKG Pro for workforce management, Rockwell Automation for production control, and on-premise SQL/DB2 databases. Active hiring is heavily skewed toward manufacturing roles (70 of 100 open positions), with accelerating velocity and junior-level dominance, suggesting floor expansion. Current projects cluster around operational tightening: ERP cost accounting, lean manufacturing implementation, machinery relocation, and SOP development—all pointing to a company scaling production capacity while standardizing processes.
