Boiler, Refrigeration & Process Piping Plumber

Picture this: It’s early at Ken’s Foods in Marlborough, MA. Production lines are prepping to craft our signature dressings, marinades, and BBQ sauces. A boiler alarm pings. You’re on it — diagnosing a steam irregularity, restoring pressure, and keeping the day on track. By afternoon, you’ve moved on to a sanitary weld on stainless process tubing, then tuned a compressor in the plant air system. That’s impact.
