Zeal Pet Food

Two years after the 2023 completion of Zeal Pet Food’s canning facility in Drury, a site visit in 2025 confirmed the enduring quality of their specialised flooring installation. Originally, the project faced the rigorous demands typical of meat-based pet food production: a high-hygiene environment requiring resistance to constant moisture, aggressive cleaning chemicals, and heavy traffic from both forklifts and pedestrians. The brief was to deliver a robust, seamless solution that would support strict food safety standards while minimising long-term maintenance.

To address these complex requirements, a dual-system approach was specified to cater to different functional areas. For the 3,300 m² main processing and production zones, Flowfresh SR at a 6 mm thickness was selected. This system is renowned for its performance in meat processing environments, offering superior resistance to moisture and chemicals while providing a seamless, non-porous finish essential for hygiene compliance. In contrast, the non-processing areas, covering 700 m² of changing rooms, offices, and labs, were fitted with Terrosso flooring. This choice provided a durable, easy-to-clean surface with an enhanced aesthetic better suited for staff environments.

The installation, executed by Solid Floors, delivered a tailored result that perfectly matches the facility’s diverse needs. The Flowfresh SR system now provides a hygienic, heavy-duty platform that withstands the daily rigors of intensive cleaning and forklift movement, while the Terrosso finish ensures staff areas remain professional and low-maintenance. Together, these systems provide Zeal Pet Food with total confidence in their facility’s long-term performance, ensuring that their flooring supports, rather than hinders, their high-quality production standards.
