FOOD INDUSTRY

A Competitive Marketplace -With the growing popularity of the megastores increasing bulk purchasing contracts, a downward force is being exerted on packaged food profit margins. This is forcing plants to put more emphasis on production volume and to strive to decrease operating costs. ChemTreat's approach is based on a partnership contract with client plants. It enables us to help reduce production costs in areas previously thought to be outside the water treatment domain; processing less expensive cans, solving line speed increases, and sterilizer maintenance issues.

Increasing Plant Regulatory Responsibility -With government regulatory approaches, such as HACCP, plant management is undertaking stricter measures to document compliance. ChemTreat has worked hard to keep abreast of government agency changes. This helps client plants avoid expensive audit failures.

Increased Customer Quality Sensitivity -Today's consumer is increasingly more sensitive to container appearance. Blemishes, rust and flaws are serious concerns for producers. ChemTreat leads the water treatment field with programs to maximize container appearance.

Cost Inflation in Water Use and Discharge -Water used to be one of the most inexpensive commodities and may be the most important and highly-used necessity in any food processing plant. With today's ambitious environmental regulatory changes, the cost of water has become a major topic. This is often related to the discharge rather than just the cost of bringing water into the plant.

ChemTreat has been instrumental in helping many food processing facilities across the country reduce water consumption through specific process changes and improvements.
