Malt-O-Meal Company Malt-O-Meal Company, the breakfast cereal manufacturer, was started by Minneapolis miller John Campbell in 1919. The ongoing association between Malt-O-Meal and our organization exhibits perfectly the advantages of a good client-and-design-firm relationship. For several decades, we have assisted in their aggressive strategic long-range plan to continually update and expand their facilities. Working together as a team, Malt-O-Meal and our designers have completed multiple projects, both large and small, but always meeting their specific design criteria as a food producer with strict USDA standards of cleanliness and environment control. In this constantly changing environment, a maintenance concern in one area of the plant may lead to a project involving new construction techniques elsewhere; adaptive reuse of an existing space may lead to further expansion later. By taking an integral party of this client’s ongoing planning process, we are able to help them meet today’s demands while anticipating tomorrow’s technologies and challenges.  |
