 WHY SITE CERTIFICATION?
The Food and Beverage Industry continues to expand and has been described by many in the industry as recession-proof. Why? Because people still have to eat, and the food industry continually evolves to meet the ever-changing demands of consumers. There are over 28,000 companies in the U.S. alone that are defined as food and beverage process manufacturers. These companies combined employ more than 1.4 million people. We continue to see growth in organics and naturals, ready-to-eat, health and wellness, ethnic and comfort foods.
 WHY PRIMUS / GARNER?
Primus Builders and Garner Economics have partnered to create one of the most extensive certification initiatives in the economic development and food/beverage industry. Our goal is to help communities prepare for the location of F&B projects, which also helps companies in that industry sector (many of whom are our current clients) understand that a community has met Primus / Garner's rigorous review requirements.
Primus is known internationally as the go-to resource in helping food and beverage companies grow. Just look at our sample list of clients. Garner Economics specializes in siting these projects and has worked with both food companies and professional service providers like Primus in their location process. The Primus / Garner team is unsurpassed when it comes to experience within the food and beverage industry.
Primus Builders is one of the leading Design/Build resources in the Food and Beverage industry. We have successfully completed a broad range of complex food processing and Greenfield assignments in which we embrace our clients' business and operational goals to implement a single project agenda.
We are experts in the specialized requirements needed to design and construct fully cooked and fresh food facilities, compliant with USDA and FDA requirements while fully implementing the AMI principles of sanitary facility and equipment design.
