International and cross-border execution
At FMN Brewery, Solon delivered process flow design and equipment specification across a cross-border supply chain, then controls design, programming, and commissioning, operator training, and the cross-border regulatory coordination the installation required.

Federal Contracting Questions
Can Solon accept a sole-source SDVOSB award?
Yes. As an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business with active SAM.gov registration and CAGE code 9TE77, Solon is eligible for SDVOSB set-aside contracts and, within the applicable thresholds and authorities, sole-source awards through the VA and other agencies.
Will you team as a subcontractor to a prime?
Yes. Teaming as the engineering and manufacturing technical partner is a normal arrangement, and Solon can support the prime’s proposal with capability statement material and past performance documentation.
Is your experience only in food and beverage?
Food, beverage, and process manufacturing is the core, and it maps directly onto military food service, commissary, and USDA-regulated operations. The underlying disciplines — utility systems, sanitary design, automation, commissioning, food safety systems — also carry into pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and general industrial production facilities.
How do we get your full capability statement document?
Request it through the contact page and it will be sent directly. The summary version is published on the capability statement page.
What is the fastest way to start a conversation?
Send the agency or prime, the vehicle or set-aside you are working under, the scope, the site, and the period of performance. Solon will confirm eligibility and fit before either side invests proposal time.
