Food & Beverage

Our fully integrated services ensure your facility or process engineering project is a success.

Our work with the world’s top food manufacturers has taught us that in order to stay competitive, you need highly efficient production capabilities and the flexibility to quickly manufacture new products to meet the changing demands of your customers. We know the specialized regulatory and market pressures you face to deliver a safe product. In existing plants, we understand the need to control the negative impact on plant production, particularly during installation. Meeting these challenging demands with agility requires a collaborative process.

Acting as an extension of your team, we’ll work with you, and the entire project team, to establish criteria for success so that we’re all working toward the same goal. We’ll factor in production schedules, capital dollars, expenses, and the value of equipment when planning and executing a project. We’re able to provide complete systems integration so that filling, packaging, wrapping, and labeling work together efficiently. You’ll find we’re constantly pushing toward a better, faster, less costly way using processes inspired by Lean production strategies as well as breakthroughs in technology. We prove it through our documented cost savings—something we call our Value Promise.

Project Execution

SSOE has developed expertise in executing conceptual or feasibility phase projects which establish the basis for our clients to prioritize their capital investments at relatively low levels of project definition. Being able to consistently deliver this type of project successfully demands the strategic use of new technologies for reality capture, standardized tools and methods to remain cost-effective, and highly experienced staff capable of conceptualizing a complete project based on very limited information.

Projects selected to proceed are further developed using a phased approach with approval gates at pre-defined levels of engineering definition and corresponding cost estimate accuracy. This type of stage-gated approach is often referred to as the front-end loading (FEL) or front-end engineering design (FEED) method. Our objective is to provide clients with a structured approach for funding projects with a higher likelihood of success based on appropriate levels of engineering definition and mitigation of identified risks.

Project Types

  • Central utility buildings
  • Feasibility studies
  • Line extensions
  • Line reconfigurations
  • Maintenance engineering
  • New facilities
  • Plant consolidations
  • Plant expansions
  • Productivity enhancement

Architecturally Driven Solutions for Food & Beverage Clients

Our passion for design creatively integrates your brand identity into your built environment, enhancing the experience for employees and visitors alike. We recognize your facilities are the messengers for all that your brand stands for, whether it’s your office building, R&D facilities, employee training areas, and workforce development spaces. SSOE’s acquisition of Stevens & Wilkinson, an award-winning architecture and interior design firm, elevates your facility into a strategic advantage. Take another look here.
