Data Driven IIoT Shick Esteve's IIoT platform enables data acquisition, recipe/batch management, and traceability across bulk, minor/micro, and liquid ingredients. This supports upselling to customers seeking real-time visibility, quality control, and regulatory compliance, enabling paid analytics, alerting, and remote monitoring across the plant.

Turnkey Automation Solutions As a complete design-to-service provider, Shick Esteve can offer end-to-end automation projects as a single supplier, reducing procurement risk for food manufacturers. This positions the company to win full-plant retrofit or greenfield projects with integrated controls, validation, and after-sales support.

Growth via Partnerships The acquisition of W.D. Laramore expands capabilities in flour reclaim systems, and Frazer-Nash partnership boosts sanitation and performance. These enhancements enable targeting bakeries, pet food producers, and milling customers with specialized systems, creating cross-sell opportunities to existing ingredients customers.

Mid-Market Focus With 51-200 employees and revenue in the hundred-million range, Shick Esteve is well aligned to mid-market food manufacturers seeking scalable automation. Target mid-sized bakeries, snack producers, and confectionery manufacturers that require combined bulk/liquid ingredient handling, process design, and ongoing support.

Global Service Network Based in Kansas City but serving worldwide, the company can offer global installations with consistent service, parts availability, and after-sales support. Leverage this for multi-site manufacturers and global brands needing standardized automation platforms and remote monitoring.
