Tasteful Selections - Bakersfield, CA

Tasteful Selections needed to expand their Bakersfield, CA potato process plant in order to satisfy increasing demand. After researching multiple produce-handling experts, Tasteful Sections chose Food Tech to lead the design-build project.

Throughout the facility, Food Tech utilized cutting-edge food process and refrigeration engineering to provide Tasteful Selections with an optimal environment for their product. Food Tech installed a highly sophisticated “humi-cell” temperature, humidity, and ventilation system. Additionally, the project included significant cold storage construction, including insulated metal panels and heavy-duty industrial refrigeration systems. These features help the facility maintain precise control over temperature, humidity, and light, which is essential when handling sensitive potato products. 

While completing the 170,000-square-foot fresh food process plant, Food Tech delivered the following:

• Design-build services featuring food process and refrigeration engineering
• “Humi-cell” temperature, humidity, and ventilation system
• Cold storage construction featuring cost-effective metal panels
• Glycol and ammonia refrigeration central systems
