Spray Drying Supervisor/Manager – Food Manufacturing

2 months ago


minneapolis, United States Quality Ingredients Corporation Full time

Who we are?


QIC is a successful contract food manufacturer. We use spray drying technology to produce powders used as ingredients by our customers to produce finished food products. QIC is a financially healthy and growing organization. We have been in business for over 30 years. We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days per week, in a 70,000 sq. ft. facility. Our customers frequently compliment the plant on its organization, cleanliness, and modern features.


Our customers range from Fortune 50 food companies to smaller food industry start-ups. The plant produces over 100 unique items. We do not make commodity powders. We make specialized, unique, high-value powders to contract manufacturing standards. The powders we produce cover dairy, colours, flavours, vegetables, juices, vitamins, and oils. No two days are alike; our work is characterized as complex, exacting, fast-paced, and subject to constant change and revision.


We have a well-defined culture. We are very performance and results-driven. We pride ourselves in being down-to-earth, to the point, frugal, and transparent – individuals with strong egos or related needs will not fit well at QIC. We have a strong work ethic, and a sense of urgency, seek to be responsive and nimble, and attention to detail is critical. We lean conservative with high standards and low-risk tolerance. We are a “no surprises” and “no loose ends” company – both externally and internally.  


We believe any business is about people, processes, and results. In that order. Our workforce is every bit as important to us as our customers. Employee care is just as important as customer care. Every single person in this organization is individually and jointly instrumental in our performance and marketplace reputation.
