Value Delivered
Based on our expertise in complex food process construction and food safety design engineering, Freshly chose Food Tech, Inc. to plan and design-build a flagship ready-to-eat (RTE) food process facility.
Our innovative solutions, including high-care and low-care zone design for additional food safety, helped the facility achieve strict regulatory compliance.
The blast coolers we installed allowed foods to be chilled, packaged, and ready for immediate distribution within hours of production.
Client Objectives
After outgrowing their Arizona production facility, Freshly needed a company to design-build a new 150,000-square-foot prepared meals process plant in Savage, MD.
