Temporary buildings in food processing and handling facilities
Probably the most effective way to expand operational or warehousing space for the food processing industry is through the deployment of temporary buildings.
Hygienic food processing environments, manufacturing and warehousing facilities
Strict legislation and compliance regulations governing the food safety standards and quality requirements means high quality hygienic processing and production facilities are critical in the food processing industry. However, the challenge is always to have the flexibility within any food processing plant to adapt and scale in line with consumer trends and seasonal retail peaks.
How can food processing and handling facilities flex with consumer trends and seasonal retail peaks?
Temporary buildings provide the perfect solution for the food processing industry. This is because although they are temporary, they can provide a semi-permanent solution. This means the lifetime of a building extends into decades, whilst throughout its life it can be extended or reduced in size; removed and stored; relocated; or sold. If you have seasonal peaks then short-term rental may be a better solution. The speed and predictability of installation, combined with the financial advantages of a temporary building make the choice between investing in a conventional building a matter of simple business common sense.
