Flow Meter Focus: Sierra’s Biggest Stories from 2015

Can you believe it’s 2016? At Sierra, 2015 was a busy year of launches with our new website, vortex mass flow meter product line, and employee development with Sierra University. Every step of the way we were inspired to bring our products and customer experience to the next level.

One of the areas of our website we enjoy most is our “Let’s Talk Flow” blog. It allows us to take you behind the scenes here at Sierra, meet our team members, keep you up-to-date on the latest Sierra news and share our knowledge with you. We thought it would be fun to take a look back at the most popular and biggest stories of 2015.

These two blog posts introduced the two biggest pieces of news from Sierra in 2015. Both projects are the result of months of hard work, energy and innovation by team Sierra. We couldn’t be prouder of our amazing team and the new product and website they created.
