Division
OVERVIEW
Cleaning and sanitation must
begin at the start of the food chain, long before dishes
reach the table. Through its Food & Beverage Division,
Ecolab provides cleaning and sanitation products,
programs and expertise to dairies, farmers, food
and beverage processors, and breweries, to help
facilitate the production of products safe for human
consumption. In addition, Food & Beverage is
leveraging its expertise developed in serving the
process manufacturing industry to serve
pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturers.
Food and product safety is the division’s business.
The base is broad, and perhaps nowhere is the need
for proper sanitation and cleaning more critical.
The market leader in the dairy plant, agribusiness
(dairy farm), beverage and brewery sectors – as well as
possessing a growing presence in the multi-faceted food
processing arena – Food & Beverage provides such
customers with premium detergents, cleaners, sanitizers
and conveyor lubricants to help ensure safe processing
of food. It also designs, manufactures and supplies
electronic controls and dispensing equipment that
enhance precise product usage in a market where
there is no room for error. All are delivered through
Food & Beverage’s sales-and-service force, about
two-thirds of which holds degrees in
dairy science, food science,
microbiology, chemistry
or engineering.
