The Allpax Open House at Its New Manufacturing Center in Covington, La., Celebrated Families
Feb 10, 2022The new two-acres-under-one-roof facility gave parents their own opportunity for show and tell.
COVINGTON, La., February 10, 2022 - Allpax, a product brand of ProMach, hosted employee families and friends during a recent open house in which more than 150 attended. The catered event was the first opportunity employees had to showcase where they worked – the one-year-old 86,000 square-foot manufacturing, engineering, and offices facility.
A complete automated batch retort system being readied for a factory acceptance test allowed employees to explain the entire package handling and food sterilization process as they walked guests along aisles of retorts and robots. Raised platforms gave guests a birds-eye view of equipment under construction and nearing shipment to food companies.
"It was wonderful to see so many children in our facility and to meet new people," said Eric Hanrahan, Vice President and General Manager of Allpax. "It gave parents the opportunity to share where they work in the building and what their responsibilities are."
The new facility was intentionally located only a few miles from the previous one to provide the least disruption to employees’ commutes and connections to the community. To improve operations and worker satisfaction, employees from every production discipline contributed suggestions for the design of their respective work areas.
The 35-year-old Allpax brand offers customers batch sterilization technology for efficiently preparing shelf-stable foods and beverages packaged in metal, glass, and flexible containers such as pouches, trays, and bowls. Allpax also designs and builds equipment for processing refrigerator-case foods such as hummus and potato salad, and for sterilizing mushroom substrates.
