It's National Intern Day! At CRB, we design and build some of the most powerful facilities in the world—those that change lives. And this summer, our interns stepped up to help turn that mission into reality. They’ve teamed up with our subject matter experts, learned through hands-on mentorship, and made real contributions to projects in food & beverage and life sciences—not just observing, but actively shaping what’s next. And when the hard work paused, they served up ice cream as “ice breakers,” battled it out in Mario Kart, and gave back through service with Ronald McDonald House. It's been a summer of showing up, learning, doing the work, and having fun. To our interns: thank you for your energy, your ideas, and the impact you’ve made. #NationalInternDay #CRBInterns #FutureLeaders #LifeSciences #FoodAndBeverage #MentorshipMatters #RealWorldExperience #TeamCRB #Yello #WayUp

Our Human Resources teams across the U.S. have been stepping up and giving back this summer — from Kansas City to Colorado, Philadelphia to St. Louis.   In Kansas City, our group teamed up with Giving the Basics to provide essential hygiene products to individuals and families in need. In Colorado Springs, our Director of Leadership and Organizational Development, Dustin Kelley, joined Care and Share Food Bank to help sort and distribute food to fight hunger across 31 counties.   In Philadelphia, our teams volunteered with Cradles to Crayons, packing book bundles for children to support literacy and imagination. And in St. Louis, our HR team recruited our interns and some of our Control Systems Integrations folks to serve dinner and host games and crafts for caregivers and families at Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital.   We’re proud of our people for finding meaningful ways to make a difference in the communities where we live and work. Let’s keep it going!   #CRBlife #Volunteerism #Teamwork #CorporateResponsibility

Think risk assessments slow you down? Think again. In biomanufacturing, they're a launch pad for faster, smarter, and safer innovation. Regulators demand them. Patients depend on them. And without them, you could be gambling on outdated "we've always done it this way" thinking. In a new CRB Insights article, Marc Pelletier, Amanda Schaller, and Todd Fritz break down how modern risk assessments—from established FMEAs to advanced CLARA methodologies—empower manufacturers to move boldly while avoiding costly rework, regulatory headaches, and patient harm. Ready to ditch legacy thinking and design facilities that are leaner, cleaner, and truly future-proof? Read on to see how the risk strategy moves from constraint to competitive advantage. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gxAwy-9E
