EPCM for Food & Pharma
Most projects don't fail because of bad engineering. They fail because nobody on the client's side is watching closely enough. We sit on your side of the table. As Owner's Project Managers and Owner's Engineers, we've managed €140M+ of food, pharma, and industrial projects making sure what gets designed, what gets procured, and what gets built is really what you need. No surprises. No excuses.
Whatever the engagement — full EPCM, Owner's Engineer, or standalone validation — we work from the client's side, with our expertise beside you.
Every project in our portfolio was delivered as Owner's Project Manager or Owner's Engineer — representing your interests against contractors, suppliers, and programme pressures. We know what goes wrong because we've sat in the room when it happened.
Process plant, cGMP facility, and HACCP-integrated design. Drawn to be built, not to look good in a report.
Weekly reporting that tells the truth. You know what's happening before you have to ask.
Your contracts, your authority. We represent you on site to make sure what was designed is what gets built.
FAT · SAT · IQ/OQ/PQ · UAT (CSV) — built into the engineering from day one, not reconstructed for the auditor.
If you've ever had an auditor flag your qualification documentation six months after the equipment was installed, you know the pain. We structure the entire engineering workstream around the V-model so your FAT generates IQ evidence directly. Your SAT feeds into OQ. For control systems and software (SCADA, DCS, MES), we extend this to User Acceptance Testing (UAT) under GAMP 5 Computer System Validation — so your digital and physical qualification runs in parallel, not in sequence.
We can't name our clients, that's their decision. But we can show you what we delivered, what it cost, and what happened when the auditor showed up.
Full EPCM for a new UHT processing and aseptic packaging line inside an operating dairy factory — installed and commissioned without a single unplanned production stoppage, FSSC 22000 audit passed first time. €12.2M · €340K under budget · 18% energy reduction.
A major pharma manufacturer needed compliant waste treatment infrastructure across two containment streams (BSL2 and BSL3): liquid effluent and solid biological waste, both with strict decontamination requirements. €17M · 3 months ahead of schedule · first shredder-autoclave in a pharma plant.
We chose Food & Beverage and Pharmaceutical because these are the sectors where a shortcut in engineering creates a real-world safety problem. If your product goes into someone's body (as food or as medicine) the facility that makes it has to be right.
"They delivered what our previous partner couldn't an inspection-ready facility before our commercial deadline. The qualification documentation was the cleanest I've ever seen."
"We installed a complete new processing line without a single unplanned production stop. I didn't think that was possible in our facility. C2Improve made it possible."
Every process engineering decision has an energy consequence. We make design choices that reduce consumption, minimise waste, and help your facility meet CSRD reporting requirements — built in during design, not bolted on after.
