From Concept to Compliance: Engineering for Hygiene & Performance

For Project Engineers and QA Managers, equipment must be safe, audit-ready, and built to withstand rigorous production environments. Our fabrication process is meticulously engineered to address your core concerns of contamination and compliance head-on.

Hygienic Design Principles

We are fluent in the language of hygienic design, ensuring every food-contact surface is non-porous, easily cleanable, and free of potential harborage points for bacteria, built in accordance with 3-A and NSF principles.

Expert Sanitary Welding (TIG/GTAW)

Our AWS-certified welders produce smooth, full-penetration, crevice-free welds essential for preventing microbial growth and ensuring product purity, all verified by our in-house Certified Welding Inspector (CWI).

Audit-Ready Documentation

We provide irrefutable proof for your compliance records, including full Material Test Reports (MTRs) and detailed weld logs, ensuring you are always prepared for any FDA or USDA regulatory audit.

Frequently Asked Questions

We ensure sanitary compliance through a multi-faceted approach: specifying the correct materials like 316L for corrosion resistance, utilizing certified GTAW (TIG) welding processes to create smooth, non-porous seams, achieving specified surface finishes (e.g., #4 finish), and adhering to the principles of hygienic design for cleanability. Every food-grade project is managed under our ISO 9001:2015 quality system.

We provide a complete documentation package to serve as your evidence of due diligence for internal and external audits. This includes full Material Test Reports (MTRs) for all product-contact materials, comprehensive weld logs and maps verifying procedures, and a final certificate of conformity.
