Gleeson is known for food processing construction, but remembered for how projects are delivered.

Vice President Eric Tabbert, talks about Gleeson's reputation in the food processing industry and some misconceptions that Gleeson is a "small" company.

"We may look like a small company, but the size and number of projects we can handle is significant. We accomplish a lot with a lean team, delivering the kind of results that often require much larger organizations. Our goal is simple: build a high-quality facility, deliver it on schedule and under budget, treat our client's money like it's our own, and leave them with a facility that will serve them for years to come."

The way a food processing, cold storage, etc., facility performs starts with the decisions made during design.

Layout, workflow, sanitation access, and room for future growth all influence how efficiently an operation runs. Taking the time to get those details right helps create a facility that's built for long-term performance.

True. Cold storage is more than a place to hold product.

Its placement can affect product flow, access points, staging areas, temperature-sensitive movement, and how efficiently teams move through the facility.

In food processing, even the storage strategy should be designed around performance.

After 33 years of service, we congratulate Randy Hooey, CSP, on his retirement!

Randy joined Klinger Companies in 1993 as its first full-time Safety Director. Over the next three decades, his leadership helped build a strong culture of construction safety across the Klinger Companies family, including Gleeson.

His knowledge, dedication, and commitment to our people have left a lasting impact on the way our teams approach safety every day.

One statement from Randy says it best:

“Everyone on my watch goes home the same way they came to work.”

Thank you, Randy, for 33 years of service and for everything you've done for Gleeson and our people. We wish you all the best in retirement!

Food processing facilities demand more than standard construction.

Every decision impacts workflow, production, storage, and long-term operational performance.

That complexity is where experience matters most.

Design-build for the food industry isn’t just what we do; it’s what we know.

For 50 years, Gleeson has worked alongside food processors to design and build facilities around the realities of their operations—from production flow and food safety to equipment integration, cold storage, distribution, capacity, and future growth.

That food industry focus allows our team to understand the challenges behind the project, not just the construction in front of us.

You’ll find Gleeson in the July 2026 issue of Meatingplace, where we’re proud to connect with the meat and food processing industry we’ve served since 1976.

In food processing, inefficiency rarely comes from one obvious issue.

It often shows up in the details: product movement, storage capacity, equipment access, dock flow, and limited room to grow.

Gleeson understands how these decisions affect day-to-day operations, which is why every project starts with how the facility needs to function.
