Food Processing Plant Decommissioning


Complete shutdowns and asset recovery for food-grade facilities — including sanitization systems, processing lines, and refrigeration.






Safe, Sanitary, and Efficient Plant Closures


Food-grade plants present unique challenges during decommissioning — from stainless steel conveyor lines and clean-in-place (CIP) systems to USDA-compliant washdown areas, ammonia loops, and refrigerated environments.

MIWEC is experienced in managing full closures of food production and distribution sites. We ensure compliance with food safety standards while maximizing recovery value from stainless steel, industrial ovens, tanks, and automation systems. Our teams dismantle and clean sites with precision and care.
