Heinz Golden Circle food and beverage processing facility

Project Description

CLIENT

Heinz acquired Golden Circle—one of Australia’s most recognised brands supplying quality fruit, vegetable, juice, baby food and carbonated beverage products to Australian families.

SCOPE

Heinz’s old equipment was becoming unreliable and increasingly interrupting business operations, placing operational continuity at risk.

Wiley worked closely with Heinz’ stakeholders to develop multiple redesign options, until the best option was selected to align with the budget.  The new design replaced four production lines, increasing production efficiencies significantly and reducing operating costs.

Wiley sourced and procured equipment suppliers and installation specialists. This involved negotiation for the most suitable equipment at the most competitive price, providing Heinz significant savings.

Wiley supplied, competitively procured, installed and commissioned six new stationary shower-type batch retorts.  Wiley managed the installation of the new equipment, whilst ensuring stringent safety protocols were followed.  The equipment was installed within one of the busiest, fully-operational areas of the facility.
