  • About 30 years of professional experience, more than 26 of them in process design of food plants and catering facilities.
  • Sees a facility as one system: purpose, capacity, process, flows of raw materials and staff, utilities, equipment, safety and operating economics.
  • Projects: meat processing, ready meals, animal by-product processing, corporate and social catering for up to 14,000 people a day, reconstruction and historic buildings.
  • The first two questions for any project: one-way flow (do flows of raw materials, products, staff, waste and containers cross) and equipment capacity.
  • In one project, revising the process design and specification cut the equipment cost roughly threefold with no loss of capacity.
  • Project geography: Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, the UAE and other countries.

Production does not start with a drawing. First comes the purpose of the facility, the production task and the process, and only then the space for them.

08 / From the organiser

From the organiser

We run practicums for people who are responsible for production every day: flows, sanitation, documents and inspections. So the format is simple: one day, one expert, a live review of your layouts and documents.

No generic talk. You leave with things you can apply on site next week.

If you are not sure the topic fits you, write or call: we will look at your situation and tell you honestly whether it will help.
