Shifting population centers, a surge in e-commerce and home delivery, and increased demand for foods that are convenient, affordable, fresh, and flavorful are impacting how foods are sourced, prepared, and distributed. FCL-built food processing facilities – new construction, expansions, and retrofits – help a wide variety of food manufacturers and distributors to meet changing demands while running operations safely, securely, efficiently, and profitability.
We partner with food processing customers and their equipment manufacturers to address the unique specifications and standards for the project as a whole, down to every last construction detail.
We’re experts in USDA and FDA rules and regulations, food category specific regulations (such as AIB), and best practices, in addition to local and regional zoning and permitting requirements, to ensure projects are in full compliance with all applicable manufacturing and inspection procedures and standards.
FCL ensures that the facility we deliver is built to meet all needs for processing equipment, lighting, electrical, plumbing, drains, scrub-in stations, safety stations, and ventilation equipment requirements.
Our facilities allow thorough cleaning and sterilization practices to prevent cross-contamination and infestations through the installation of interior drains, washable walls, and other sterile environment practices.
FCL teams ensure moisture and temperature-controlled assets properly store and maintain source ingredients on their way into production to minimize food waste and maximize flow.
FCL teams are experts in building multi-user food processing facilities, including the construction of individual user “condos” to separate food processing areas.
