CANTON, MASS. — Reiser has opened its new state-of-the-industry Customer Center at its Canton, Mass. headquarters. A 6,600 square foot expansion to their existing building, the Customer Center builds on Reiser’s commitment to work with its customers to test and develop new products and processes.

Features of the Customer Center include a customizable processing room with space to run single machines or fully-automated lines, as well as a full test kitchen for preparing, cooking and sampling finished product. The facility allows product to be processed under the same conditions found in most top-of-the-line meat plants in the industry. It also includes modern conference rooms for meetings and training, as well as comfortable workstations for visitors, Reiser relays.

"Reiser has a long history of providing the highest levels of customer support," said John McIsaac, vice-president of Strategic Business Development. "Our new Customer Center is one more way that we can help processors develop the best solution for their particular application."
