In 2013, private-label drink manufacturer Citrus Systems Inc. finally left its original 68,000-square-foot complex in Minneapolis and expanded into a 135,000-square-foot facility in west suburban Hopkins.
Unfortunately, while the new building allowed Citrus Systems to increase production of its fruit and vegetable blends, concentrated juices, teas and other custom products, it carried over the same antiquated dock equipment used in the old one. And that caused a noisy, painful problem.
