BACKGROUND
Kanes Foods stands as a prominent fresh food manufacturer, renowned for delivering exceptional quality produce to the UK market from their £30 million eco factory in Evesham. Over the years, their engineers have forged a longstanding loyalty to Sika® Ucrete®, relying on its high-quality product for reliable, low maintenance service.
THE CHALLENGE
Kanes Foods required functional and long-lasting finishes that complemented the modern aesthetics of their newly constructed ecofactory. While prioritising the ergonomic needs of their staff, they aimed for comfortable and visually pleasing finishes in communal areas like changing rooms and corridors. Meanwhile, in their factory spaces, they required industrial-grade, durable flooring solutions capable of withstanding wear, frequent cleaning, and heavy traffic, ensuring resilience and longevity.
OUR SOLUTION
To optimise the environment in both food processing and non-processing areas, two different flooring types were selected. Sika® Ucrete® UD 200 was specified for the food processing areas. Ucrete UD 200 is ideally suited to these areas, offering slip resistance, exceptional durability, and ease of cleaning comparable to stainless steel - vital for high care food processing plants like Kanes Foods.
