Fontanini Foods, based in the Chicagoland area, specializes in authentic Italian meats and sausages as well as a variety of other premium meat products including pizza toppings and meatballs.

Fontanini Foods called upon United Insulated to assist with their next generation of production facility. They had outgrown their previous three building production environment and wanted the efficiencies of a one building solution. 

This three-phase green-field plan included all new production lines, employee welfare areas, corporate office and muli-phase freezers. Due to Fontanini’s production practices there were a number of bespoke and custom design approaches required including: stainless steel curbs, bollards and walls; as well as a ‘dairy brick’ flooring system to stand up to the rigors of Fontanini’s cleaning requirements. United Insulated Structures was also able to help provide additional efficiency via custom IMP duct work for all CPA units for the facility, reducing operation costs for the facility.
