Cooked Bacon Manufacturing Facility
The Client
In preparation for an increase in business, they pursued an ambitious expansion plan to increase capacity by 80 percent over a ten-year period. They also wanted to identify efficiencies, reduce costs and increase sustainability.
How PEMCAS Delivered
After close consultation and assessment, two projects were recommended: a significant factory expansion and a customer visitor centre. We also used our 3D modelling software to identify opportunities for efficiency in the existing factory.
We oversaw a smooth compliance process, obtaining all relevant permits and licences, a substantial task for a large project in the food production sector.
The new factory facility and visitor centre have been a commercial success for Dew Valley, and have resulted in substantial reductions in water consumption, kerosene usage and waste to landfill, while helping to create jobs.
Key Insights
Dew Valley’s mission statement is to achieve commercial success in ways that honour their ethical values and respect people, communities and the natural environment. By working alongside them on this project, we have demonstrated the competency, performance and trust that clients have come to expect.
