Durable, secure and sanitary press joining system installed to produce quality seafood.
Gloucester, MA is the location of not only America’s oldest seaport and the birthplace of the US fishing industry, but also Gorton’s Seafood. Gorton’s originated as a father and son duo in 1849 under the name John Pew & Sons and has evolved into the most recognizable and bestselling seafood brand in the US. Operating out of the original 1906 building, Gorton’s prides itself on its heritage and quality products.
The third floor of Gorton’s seafood production facility had been out of commission for the last decade, but was remodeled to make room for a new fry line. Rob Sinico, senior innovation project engineer for Gorton’s, has worked with Northeast Process Systems Inc. (NEPSI) for years, choosing it for nearly every mechanical repair Gorton’s has needed. So when it came to remodeling the 20,000-sq.-ft. facility, Sinico trusted NEPSI’s suggestion to use Viega ProPress for stainless.
