    Your Challenges

    We Understand Your Pain Points

    Food Safety Compliance

    FSMA, GFSI, and customer audits require documentation and traceability at every step.

    Temperature Control

    Product integrity depends on maintaining cold chain from receiving to shipping.

    Sanitation Requirements

    Facilities must be cleanable and resistant to contamination.

    Pest Control

    Infrastructure must prevent pest harborage and entry points.

    Our Solutions

    Single-Source Advantage

    Why Work With One Food & Beverage Partner

    Food and beverage projects that split racking, automation, and construction across vendors create gaps in compliance documentation and schedule. The benefits include:

    • One point of contact from design through commissioning
    • Racking, automation, and construction scopes stay coordinated on one schedule
    • Fewer handoffs between trades reduces audit and compliance risk
    • One team accountable for FSMA and GFSI documentation
    • Maintenance from the same team that installed the system

    Is It Time?

    Signs Your Facility Needs Food Grade Warehouse Solutions

    Canadian food and beverage operators usually reach out once these signals show up on the floor:

    • Audit findings cite gaps in traceability or documentation
    • Cold chain temperature excursions happen between receiving and storage
    • Manual handling slows down washdown or sanitation cycles
    • Production line downtime increases as equipment ages
    • Pest control findings recur despite regular treatment
    Technologies We Deploy

    Sanitized Material Handling We Deploy

    MTLI installs material handling built for washdown and sanitation requirements, not retrofitted after installation.

    Washdown-Rated Conveyor Systems

    Conveyor systems are engineered to withstand frequent sanitation cycles, ensuring reliable product movement while meeting the strict hygiene standards of food and beverage facilities.

    Stainless Steel Fabrication

    Food-grade stainless steel components resist corrosion, simplify cleaning, and provide long-term durability in washdown and high-moisture production environments.

    Refrigerated & Multi-Temperature Racking

    Storage systems are designed for refrigerated, freezer, and multi-temperature zones, helping preserve product quality while supporting efficient inventory management.

    Temperature Monitoring Systems

    Integrated monitoring solutions provide continuous temperature tracking throughout storage and distribution, protecting cold chain integrity and supporting audit compliance.

    Sanitized Material Handling Solutions

    MTLI delivers sanitized material handling systems purpose-built for Canadian food and beverage facilities, combining hygienic equipment, washdown-ready designs, and food distribution automation to improve safety and operational efficiency.

    Case Study

    National Beverage Distributor, Multi-Temp DC

    The Challenge

    A beverage distributor needed a facility that could handle ambient, refrigerated, and frozen products with strict food safety compliance.

    The Solution

    MTLI constructed a 500,000 SF multi-temperature facility with segregated zones, food-grade racking, and FSMA-compliant documentation.

    Results

    • 3 temperature zones
    • SQF Level 3 certified
    • Zero audit findings
    • 30% energy savings

    Common Questions, Answered

    What does MTLI do for food & beverage facilities?

    Everything between the walls: racking, automation, construction, electrical, installation, relocation, and lifecycle maintenance, delivered as one accountable team. Projects range from under $100K upgrades to $100M+ turnkey programs.

    What are food grade warehouse solutions?

    Food grade warehouse solutions combine FSMA-compliant construction, cleanable surfaces, and temperature-controlled storage into one facility built around food safety, not added on after the building is finished.

    Can you work inside a live food & beverage operation?

    Yes, that is where we do most of our work. Phased sequencing, off-shift crews, and strict containment keep your operation running, and our record includes a 1,000,000+ sq ft healthcare transition completed with zero disruption.

    Do you understand the compliance side of food & beverage?

    Codes, permits, engineered drawings, and safety standards are handled by MTLI for every project, with certified supervisors on site daily and documentation maintained as we build.

    Can your food grade warehouse solutions integrate with existing facilities?

    Yes. MTLI designs solutions that integrate with existing racking, warehouse management systems, refrigeration equipment, and production lines, allowing facilities to modernize operations with minimal disruption.
