Project Profile
New Plant Design for Koch Foods

Project Description
Koch Foods, one of the largest poultry processing plants in the country, tapped our team to provide MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) engineering services for its new 430,000 square foot food processing plant. Leveraging our decade of collaboration with Koch and our specialized knowledge in Food & Beverage Manufacturing, we were able to efficiently and precisely meet the standards for the new plant’s successful completion.

Key Successes:

• Efficient Design Process: DEG was able to provide a frictionless, efficient design cycle for the large-scale project, due to our long-standing expertise in Food & Beverage.
• Trusted Partnership: With more than 10 years and several plant expansion projects already completed together, Koch and DEG continue to build on a long history of successful endeavors.
