  • Craft Brewers Conference Coming Up May 2-5

    Posted April 25, 2012 By in Newsletter With | Comments Off

    The Craft Brewers Conference & BrewExpo America in San Diego is just around the corner and we’re really looking forward to it. We get to talk beer with some of the best craft brewers around the country and drink every kind of beer you can think of (and we can think of a whole lot of types of beer). Contact Steve or Mike for some lively beer talk or if you’d like to set up a meeting time.

    You can “like” us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter (@BeerFacility) for the latest updates on projects, events and all things beer-related.

  • Examples of Efficient Operations

    Posted By in Newsletter With | Comments Off

    Donnewald Distributing Company in Greenville, Illinois called on Facility Planning to consolidate their operations and create a state-of-the-art facility that put an emphasis on green energy technology. The result? A 150,000 square foot facility that’s the first (and maybe the only) beer distributor in the country to be completely heated and cooled by geothermal technology. The benefit? 20% energy usage reduction over their old buildings, on a per square foot basis. A lean, green beer machine.

    H.W. Herrell Distributing Company in Imperial, Missouri had been boxed in a corner by a number of add-ons over the years. They needed a renovation that would allow for long term expansion to handle their growing number of SKUs. They came to us with lots of land and a limited budget. We worked with them to create their new master expansion plan and select a qualified local contractor to replace and relocate their draught cooler, install additional docks, provide insulated high-speed doors and create a new, efficient loading area. More room, better space management, out of the box thinking.
