Background

Two of the largest companies in the brewing industry formed a joint venture to leverage each other’s distribution networks. The project also allowed the production of each other’s products in their newly combined network of facilities.

Approach

Due to regulatory requirements, early project plans were developed before interfacing with the facilities directly. Foth provided engineering, procurement, project management and construction management on parallel paths, overlapping construction and continuously rolling startups. We also coordinated and led multiple engineering firms and dozens of OEMs and installation contractors throughout the project.

Results

Our solution exceeded line efficiency goals and maintained the quality of our clients’ products. The project was on schedule at all facilities, and product integration improved costs and distribution across their network of facilities.
