Foth has announced its acquisition of Food Plant Engineering, LLC and Food Plant Construction, LLC, an architecture, engineering, and construction firm based in Cincinnati, Ohio. This strategic acquisition significantly enhances the capabilities and reach of both firms within the food and beverage manufacturing sector.
The food and beverage market continues to see unprecedented evolution of consumer preferences for health conscious, variety, and private label offerings. Food Plant Engineering’s history of supporting this dynamic sector of the market is a strong complement to Foth’s existing partnerships within the consumer-packaged goods industry.
Over the last 72 years, Food Plant Engineering has created innovative solutions to the unique production and facility challenges of food processing companies. This expertise includes facility planning and design, process planning and design, facility construction, and process installation for organizations that are reshaping the pace and direction of the industry. Food Plant Engineering’s location also allows Foth to more quickly and efficiently serve clients throughout the Ohio River Valley, and their architectural service offerings will contribute to greater efficiencies for design-build project delivery.
The acquisition will provide Food Plant Engineering’s existing clients with a broader range of services, addressing the increasing demand for integrated, multi-disciplinary expertise. By leveraging Foth’s extensive experience with mission-critical capital projects, deep bench of knowledgeable employee-members, and vast network of contractors, we can deliver more comprehensive solutions, specifically in the areas of food, beverage, paper, and industrial manufacturing and automation; civil design and engineering; and environmental services.
Together, we are uniquely positioned to deliver the speed, flexibility, and full-service solutions manufacturing clients need to thrive in today’s rapidly changing environment.
Employees of both firms will benefit from enhanced professional growth opportunities. The combined resources and expertise will create a dynamic and supportive environment for innovation and career development. This acquisition underscores Foth’s commitment to investing in people and fostering a culture of continuous learning and advancement.
“We are proud to announce that we have combined our resources and expertise with those of Food Plant Engineering to more broadly serve new market segments and emerging companies within the food and beverage manufacturing sector,” said Foth CEO Randy Homel. “We look forward to welcoming our new employee-members who have demonstrated a proven track record of success as designers, builders, and creators for sustainable food production facilities.”
Food Plant Engineering President Mark Redmond reiterated that, “Joining Foth is a tremendous opportunity, not only for our FPE team but, most importantly, for our clients. We are proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish alongside some of the best food manufacturers, and I’m excited to enhance their access to an even wider range of capabilities.”
