WINERY SOLUTIONS

KEEP IT WORKING.
SOLVE WHAT ISN’T.
BUILD WHAT DOESN’T EXIST.

NuTrend helps wineries repair, adapt, improve and create the equipment and practical solutions their operations require.

Whether the problem involves an existing piece of equipment, a part that can no longer be found, a process that isn’t working properly, or a solution that doesn’t exist yet—start with the problem.

JOHN IS STILL ACTIVE.
STILL AVAILABLE.
STILL SOLVING PROBLEMS.

John K. Kalua’s winery work is not limited to the historical archive. Winery owners and operators can still bring John an equipment, process, mechanical, fabrication or operational problem for review today.

You do not need to know the solution. Start by telling him what is not working, what needs to work differently or what your operation needs to accomplish.

WINERY SERVICES & SOLUTIONS

Practical support for the equipment, systems and operational problems wineries deal with every day.

SERVICE & REPAIR

Troubleshoot, repair and help restore existing equipment, components and mechanical systems to useful operation.

PARTS & MODIFICATIONS

Evaluate difficult-to-source or obsolete components and determine whether repair, modification, adaptation or custom fabrication provides an appropriate solution.

CUSTOM FABRICATION & BUILDING

When an appropriate solution cannot simply be purchased, NuTrend can develop and fabricate practical equipment, components, modifications and custom solutions for the application.

CONSULTING & PROBLEM SOLVING

Bring John the problem.

NuTrend can evaluate an equipment, process, mechanical or operational challenge, identify what is actually preventing the desired result, and help determine a practical path forward.

Consulting & problem solving

YOU DON’T HAVE TO KNOW THE SOLUTION.
START WITH THE PROBLEM.

Winery owners and operators do not need to arrive with specifications or a predetermined solution. They can bring NuTrend:

  • Equipment that isn’t working correctly
  • A component that is obsolete or unavailable
  • An inefficient process or recurring bottleneck
  • Equipment that needs modification
  • An unusual mechanical or operational problem
  • An idea for something they need but cannot find commercially

John’s role is to understand what needs to happen before deciding what should be built, repaired, changed or recommended.
