Food & Beverage

Carrying out successful machinery moving projects in the food and beverage industry means the demand for having an acute awareness of the need to work to strict hygiene standards is very high.

At Merritts we have a thorough understanding of working in the food and beverage industry, especially when it comes to clean environments and the importance of health and safety compliance. 

All employees are aware of the stringent requirements that need to be followed regarding protective clothing. They understand low and high care production areas and wear the appropriate PPE depending on the protection specification.

Our food and drink movers package delivers a comprehensive solution. Machinery businesses, manufacturers, distributors and processing companies within the food and beverage industry use us because they trust us to uphold the strict hygiene requirements involved, ensure the supply chain is protected, and work efficiently to ensure production schedules are met.

We realise that fitting in with production schedules and shift patterns may mean working out of hours and/or at the weekends. Therefore, planning strategies are meticulously executed by our project managers to ensure production down time is kept to an absolute minimum.

Our specialist lifting equipment also allows us to move machinery in confined spaces. This is of great benefit in facilities where space is of a premium. Whether you require the installation of new machinery, or the removal and relocation of existing machinery, by choosing Merritts you will receive an unparalleled quality of service with satisfaction guaranteed.
