Food Processing Facility Insulation Panels:
Hygienic, Compliant, and Built to Last

Industry Overview

The Gold Standard for Sanitary and Temperature-Controlled Environments

In the food processing industry, where hygiene, temperature stability, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable, PermaTherm’s PermaCore™ Insulated Metal Panels set a new standard. That new standard is the application of a manufacturing technology called PermaShield. PermaTherm utilizes this technology to effectively machine-fit all panel joints.The foam provides the R-Value but Permatherm provides the fit. This is critical for cleanliness standards, as well as durability in wash-down environments and long-term service. Whether you operate a ready-to-eat (RTE) processing plant, a brewery, winery, bottling facility, or vegetable bagging operation, full-scale dairy, or a cut and cook facility for meat production, we provide the panels that keep your business safe and efficient.
