At QSI, we take pride in building our team to perform as a well-oiled machine, just like the systems and solutions we provide our customers. Over the years, our team has crafted these five core values to keep us accountable and to challenge us to strive for excellence daily.

Collaborative Leaders

Intellectual and introspective leaders who take the initiative to partner with clients in solving problems.

“With over 70 years of experience between the leadership team, we put our customers first and view them as our partners in providing the best solutions for their processing needs,” said Eric Casciaro, CEO. “We also focus on being the best team leaders we can to our employees who are tackling challenges and providing innovative solutions to our customers daily.”

Experienced Professionals

Dedicated experts committed to efficiency and represent the company well.

“We have some of the best of the best in the engineering field on our team,” said Casciaro. “We are focused on monitoring, maintaining, and improving our culture so that our team views QSI as their career. In a demanding industry, we have managed to retain talent that our customers enjoy working with on project after project, building a trust and knowledge base of their operations that supports long-term customer relationships.”

Personable

Friendly and approachable engineers who communicate well with customers.

“Though we may be the ‘geeky’ brains behind the migration, modernization and automation solutions, we are relatable and take time to develop meaningful business relationships with our customers,” said Will Worth, Director of Engineering. “At times it feels like we are searching for unicorns, but engineers with personalities do exist, and we seek them out.”

High-Performing

Reliable, motivated, and hardworking talent, accountable and engaged to the company purpose and values.

“It’s safe to say, we get a lot done,” said Mike Rickey, Director of Design Engineering. “When hiring we look for candidates who are accountable, ambitious and don’t back down from a challenge.”

“Our team is always searching for ways to drive efficiency and productivity, not only for our clients, but also within our own performance,” Casciaro added.

Innovative

Creative and versatile experts committed to continuous improvement.

QSI is always looking for qualified team members who have that enduring hunger to learn and grow their craft as the industry and the needs of our customer-base change.

“There is no problem too big or challenge too tough for our team,” said Casciaro. “We always have our finger on the pulse of the industry and assist our customers with leveling up and modernizing their systems so they can run their businesses as efficiently as possible.”

At the recent Food Automation & Manufacturing Conference in Florida, Kraft Heinz’s Davenport, Iowa facility was named Food Engineering’s 2018 Plant of the Year. This facility produces Oscar Meyer’s Deli Fresh and Lunchables lines. This was a greenfield project to build a new facility from the ground up, with Quantum Solutions (QSI) joining Kraft Heinz and the construction team to bring this facility to completion. 

According to Will Worth, QSI Director of Engineering, “Quantum Solutions took on responsibility for ‘anything with a wire’ while integrating recipe management and batch control with traceability as the plant neared completion. Technology is not always the answer, but as engineers, it’s always more fun to leverage the latest innovations, which we were able to do in this case. Our history with Kraft Heinz dates back almost to our company’s inception; we are very proud and grateful for that relationship and to be part of such an important project.”

The new 382,157 sq. foot facility, located in the Eastern Iowa Industrial Center, employs the highest levels of food safety, including state-of-the-art automation systems to optimize efficiency.  Quantum Solutions engineered the recipe management system, batch control with barcode verification, data collection/traceability and reporting, and commissioning as this plant moved from construction into production. 

“We congratulate our client, Kraft Heinz, for being honored with this recognition,” stated Eric Casciaro, COR of Quantum Solutions. “Also, congratulations to our engineering team for their ongoing contributions at this award-winning plant! We thank Kraft Heinz for selecting and trusting QSI to support their pursuit of operational excellence–it’s a pleasure to work with your facilities nationwide.”
