Case Study
NZMW have set up a state of the art, food grade aseptic manufacturing facility on the Tomoana Food Hub to produce packaged water products.
The challenge
Pure artesian water located directly underground in the Heretaunga confined aquifer made Hastings the obvious choice for the facility. Close relationships with regional authorities and local business organisations enhanced the full design and build package required by NZMW. The business was new to the sector, which meant the facility was built around the plant and equipment as it was still being designed and commissioned. NZMW is a high volume export business, making the Tomoana Food Hub expertise in logistical efficiency perfect for the task.
The solution
Tapping into the aquifer directly through a new bore on the Tomoana Food Hub site, this state of the art facility was designed and built around the exact needs of NZMW. The building was built to a scale that allows for expansion in production volume.
