~ Brian Donaghy, Owner

“We purchased new Selmi chocolate making equipment for our company and Brian was sent out to help us migrate from all hand work to the new Selmi equipment. He made the transition very easy. He showed his expertise and creativity. Brian, the associates at Tomric and Selmi brought our company to the next level. Moving forward, Brian has continued to help us innovate our product line with his good advice."
