Testimonials
We have done business with Eric for over fifteen years. Eric’s extensive industry knowledge, along with practicality, provides successful results. In addition, Eric’s honest, straightforward approach solves challenges easier. Although we were a supplier, Eric always approached our interactions as a team where everyone benefited and resolved issues. Eric has a rare combination of work ethic, knowledge, and integrity.
Eric Esterline continues to be one of the most knowledgeable resources for product development and product implementation in the dressings and sauce industry. Offering decades of experience working with ingredients, manufacturing equipment, and within regulatory requirements, Eric has demonstrated time and time again his ability to effectively problem solve and offer relevant solutions during all phases of the product development cycle. As a former ingredient supplier, I witnessed firsthand Eric’s vast knowledge and understanding of the complex interactions that take place in dressing and sauce formulations and his ability to leverage this knowledge to produce the best product at the right price point is paramount in the industry.
I met Eric when he worked with North East Foods, later to become Bay Valley Foods and then TreeHouse Foods. I was working with The Association for Dressings & Sauces (ADS) as their Manager of Membership & Administration.
Eric diligently attended the ADS Technical Meetings and served on the ADS Executive Technical Board. He chaired the Technical Committee and received the Technical Service Award in 2015. Additionally, Eric worked on numerous projects under the Technical Committee, as well the Quality Assurance Committee. He was a regular contributor of technical expertise to update the ADS technical manuals. Without this type of input from the members of the organization, the manuals would not have been developed, updated and available to future members of the organization.
Above all of his professional abilities and achievements, Eric has always displayed a high degree of moral character, integrity and responsibility. He does not shy away from a challenge and gives his best to any project he undertakes. For these reasons I do not hesitate to recommend Eric for any project that would benefit from his technical expertise, hard work and honesty.
