Today, the most effective way to maximize the return on your investment in Vikan products is to arrange for a customized Site Survey. In industries with stringent hygiene standards, such as food preparation environments, inspecting cleaning equipment is crucial for maintaining proper hygiene protocols. Research shows that cleaning tools are often a major source of contamination.
Using the Vikan Hygienic Zone Planner, our team can assist you in setting up a tailored color-coded system and selecting optimal storage solutions and cleaning materials to suit your specific needs. This approach not only simplifies the process of managing cleaning equipment but also extends their lifespan by reducing wear and tear.
Our experts frequently collaborate with clients in the food and beverage sector, including retail kitchens and processing facilities. Whether you're preparing for audits, enhancing hygiene practices, or complying with regulations like HACCP, 5S, IFS, BRC, or FSSC 22000, we’re here to help.
Color coding is widely adopted across Europe to prevent cross-contamination in food preparation areas. Typically, this involves assigning specific colors to different zones following the production flow. It's vital to choose cleaning tools whose colors contrast with the food being handled.
Increasingly, we're being consulted to refine or update existing color-coding systems. Some businesses aim to boost hygiene levels by implementing vertical color coding, distinguishing between equipment for machinery and floor/wall cleaning. Additional colors may be needed when dealing with allergens, new processes, or specialized cleaning kits.
The Vikan team can integrate all these elements into a comprehensive hygiene management plan. Each site gets a detailed strategy and inventory, which we regularly review and update. Shadow boards or wall brackets can further enhance organization and accessibility of cleaning tools.
Recently, we worked with a major meat processor to harmonize their color coding and equipment usage across multiple plants. Our reports helped procurement and quality teams meet their goals while ensuring compliance with food safety standards and reducing material waste—a win-win scenario.
While Vikan has long been trusted by large European food conglomerates, we're now reaching out to smaller regional operations looking to manage costs effectively. Simultaneously, there's growing demand for globalized services as multinational food brands seek consistent hygiene standards worldwide. This shift motivates us to adapt and expand our offerings.
