Background

Clemens Food Group, a hog farming, food production, logistical services and transportation company, hired Gray Construction to design and build their new 656,000 sq. ft. pork processing operation in Coldwater, Michigan.

After Gray Construction chose Goyette as their mechanical contractor, Ferguson Industrial was selected as the PVF supplier, and we quickly joined the team to provide products and technical support during construction planning.

The project was awarded in phases as the processing facility was designed. Goyette awarded Ferguson Industrial the project based on our relationship, national footprint, product selection, service and technical expertise for the design phase.

“I feel logistically we are the only company in Michigan that could have supplied all of this material for this project mainly due to our distribution centers and product offerings,” said Lee Johnson, area sales manager.

The solution: Ferguson Industrial

Utilizing our expansive nationwide resources, from collaborating with our associates across the country to our distribution centers and partners, we were able to secure pipe and stainless steel fittings quickly and efficiently while staying competitively priced.

Due to our success on this project as collaborators and partners, we are partnering on future projects with Goyette Mechanical and Gray Construction.
