Sometimes, the decision to renovate or not renovate a facility can save your entire business. One example of this was the conversion of an existing warehouse into a LEED-certified, climate-controlled, 45,000-sq.-ft. food-grade manufacturing space owned by a bag and film manufacturer in California.
A major motivator behind the conversion was a do-or-die threat by the manufacturer’s two largest customers. They said if the company didn’t become food grade certified, in this case against SQF 2000, they would stop doing business with it.
