The beverage industry in the United States is profoundly changing. Consumer tastes have shifted to new or niche products and manufacturers are struggling to keep up with the proliferation of SKUs, forcing them to be leaner and more efficient than ever. All the while, beverage producers must still produce high quality product which meet or exceed hygiene and regulatory requirements.
Cross Company has been working with beverage producers across the Southeast for over sixty years. Whether it’s process control, automation, packaging, hose & fittings or complete control system overhauls, Cross Company has the experience to solve your critical issues.

The crop production industry faces many challenges: competition for natural resources, shifting consumer preferences and changing patterns of food consumption. All the while, to remain viable, farmers must create additional yield on existing land through productivity and technology improvements.
