WEBBER/SMITH Group

Growth usually sounds exciting before it reaches the facility. webbersmith.com

Planning growth, renovation, or expansion? Learn how WEBBER/SMITH can help:

A new customer.
A new product line.
A new packaging format.
A new distribution opportunity.
A new volume target.

Then the operational questions begin.

Where will ingredients stage?
Can the line support the volume?
Is cold storage sufficient?
Do utilities have capacity?
Will docks, traffic, sanitation, and employee flow hold up?
Can construction happen without disrupting production?

That is why facility planning belongs early in the growth conversation.

A good facility plan does not just react to opportunity.

It helps make opportunity executable.

Great engineering careers don’t start with experience. They start with curiosity. webbersmith.com

We’re excited to welcome Gabe Herbst back to WEBBER/SMITH as an Electrical Engineering Intern. https://buff.ly/6W5N3dg

Gabe brings a strong interest in power and control systems, shaped by a deeper understanding of how modern infrastructure is evolving to support growing energy demands.

That matters more than most people realize.

In food and beverage facilities, electrical design decisions aren’t just about compliance. They directly impact uptime, process stability, and long-term operating cost.
Early in their careers, engineers often focus on the technical solution. The real differentiation comes from learning how to balance:

- Client requirements
- Operational constraints
- Long-term reliability

Gabe already leans into that mindset, especially in how he approaches client collaboration.

His perspective on "finding the right compromise" is exactly how projects stay on schedule and avoid costly redesigns late in ex*****on.

"Hello, my name is Gabe Herbst. I am an electrical engineering student at Penn State with a strong interest in power and control systems. I am excited to apply my knowledge to satisfy our customers and further WEBBER/SMITH’s already prestigious reputation in the food and beverage industry."

Welcome back, Gabe!
