Integrative Flavors Relocating Soup Base Manufacturing Facility

More Information

After over 2yrs of planning, Integrative Flavors will be relocating their soup base manufacturing facility in August 2010. The new facility will be located 5 miles west of the current facility.

"The continued expansion of our line of soup bases and flavor concentrates and the increased demand for our Private Labeling services caused us to outgrow our current facility”, said Georgeann Quealy, President of Integrative Flavors. “Our new facility provides us with the room we need to take on new line extensions and bring in new packaging equipment."

Integrative Flavors has partnered with Forum Architects from South Bend, Indiana to provide design and architectural support for the project. George Weber of Forum Architects indicated that they currently have three registered LEED AP’s on staff that are consulting on this project as well as a LEED Platinum Level Project that is currently under way. “Forum Architect’s expertise and practical design concepts have been extremely valuable during the design phase of this project”, said Brian Quealy, Vice President of Integrative Flavors. “Their guidance was instrumental in the layout of the facility as well as for the selection of appropriate equipment to make our operations more efficient.”

Changes with immediate impact include:    * Re-insulation of the entire building envelope to reduce energy usage    * Use of Energy-Star rated equipment on all new HVAC systems.    * Hi-efficiency water heaters    * Low flow water fixtures    * Energy efficient lighting fixtures

Casteel Construction Corporation will begin construction by the end of the year according to Dave Emmel of Casteel Construction. Integrative Flavors plans to move into the new facility during the Spring of 2010.
