Thanks Ty. The picture was from the investor/shareholder who visited not the company. The Zoom call video does showcase the inside. Amy McNally mentioned that she would make the video available soon and that one only has to e-mail her to receive the raw copy. She was flying back home either shortly after the call yesterday or this morning. Looking at it on the Zoom call showed a lot of detail and the plant manager definitely knows his stuff. It was nice to hear that the company is preparing for 1 and 2 liter bottles and has the capability of packaging 12, 6 or 4 bottle cases and 24 - 32 pack cases too (I can't remember if 36 bottles was an available package or not, I'd have to watch the video again).
As soon as I get a copy I'm definitely sharing it here. The lack of wifi for the plant since it was so remote negated the ability for Amy to do a live Zoom in the plant but for the limitations of technology while on travel, I'm glad that she was able to take an earlier video of the plant either that morning or the day before and sharing it live on the Zoom call yesterday. It was also good seeing 5 or 6 other people busy at work packing the water for orders going out.
The production line itself wasn't on during the video. My thought is it reduced the safety hazards and ensured we could hear the plant manager, Ken, while he was speaking.
You are correct in that the cleanliness of the plant along with the efficiency stood out. Many have commented on how the plant looks on the outside however on the inside for it to be clean, orderly and for the plant manager to say that even though the empty bottles come in sterilized, he cleans each of them a second time anyway, was very comforting to hear.
I drove by the outside of the plant in October, 2019 while visiting the Biltmore Estates in Asheville with family (it was on a Saturday so no one was at the plant that day). More to come as it becomes available.
