Information out of the Mennens Newsletter dated July 2018 about activities of Mennens Cleanroom Cranes within the PP4CE alliance

PP4CE International expansion
PP4C is since 2014 a strategic alliance between a number of specialists in the field of Controlled Environment technology with focus on the Netherlands and Belgium. Cleanroom Cranes is from the start, partner of this consortium. These companies have built many turnkey cleanrooms for various sectors such as the pharma, food- or semi-conductor sector. As from 2018 this combined experience and knowledge will be available for the international market as PP4CE consortium. Together with Stulz GmbH, one of the world’s market leaders in HVAC technology and providing innovative solutions for Data Centres, climate- and contamination-controllable areas in laboratories and cleanrooms in general we can supply our services worldwide.

Information out of the Mennens Newsletter dated July 2018 about de foodsafety offensive of PP4C(E)

Food safety offensive PP4C
PP4C is since 2014 a strategic alliance between a number of specialists in the field of Controlled Environment technology. These companies have already built many turnkey cleanrooms for various sectors such as the Pharma- or semi-conductor, but also within the food sector. With the decades of experience and the largest number of m2 of realized ‘clean spaces’ in the Benelux, the combined knowledge and experience of the PP4C concept for quality and solution-oriented thinking.
At the end of 2017, PP4C commissioned a study by Wolting Marketing Support within the food industry in the Netherlands and Flanders Belgium. The question was primarily about familiarity with zoning within the food industry in ‘medium and high-care’ areas. On balance PP4C wanted to know whether the market is busy with food safety in general, and with control of contamination risks in the air, in particular.
The results of the study were in the view of the PP4C organization worrying! In the Netherlands, and even more clearly in Flanders, a lot of attention is paid to cleaning surfaces and machines, but people are less aware of the risks of contamination present in the air. In the Netherlands, just over 50% of the participating companies had never heard of zoning in risk-determining rooms, in Flanders this was even more worrying, at almost 75% of the participating companies! It should be noted that in the Netherlands slightly more than 1,000 food production companies, registered at the Chamber of Commerce, were approached and the number of respondents exceeded 50% of the total market. These figures make the report representative and reliable.
PP4C has decided to launch an offensive and to increase the awareness clearly for the obligation of every company active in the food market, to analyse and reduce risks wherever possible. Do you have questions about developments in food safety standards and certification or European regulations, or do you want to know more about the EHEDG guidelines for the design of production facilities and air management? Or would you like to know more about the global developments based on the FDA(FSMA) ‘modernization food safety’ law in the United States? The team of PP4C tries to provide you with the latest developments at all times and assists you with advice and action for the realization of a correct and safe Food production facility.
On the site of PP4C, from April 2018 every month a new White Paper document can be quickly and easily downloaded with interesting information about the Foodsafety theme.

Information out of the Mennens Newsletter dated July 2018 about the Mennens Cleanroom Cranes division moving to a new location in Eindhoven

New Head Quarters location
As from July, the Mennens Cleanroom Cranes division is moving to a new location in Eindhoven. This new dedicated cleanroom (production) office offers enough space to develop our products and meet our clients. This relocation is closer to our local customers, a lot of them located in the Eindhoven area.

The address: Achtseweg Zuid 161, 5651 GW EINDHOVEN

AHZ-pharmacy

AHZ has made a nice introduction film of their activities in the new pharmacy. The text is unfortunately Dutch but it points out the high quality performance of this pharmacy for four hospitals in the region of The Hague in Holland. We were allowed to work on this Design and built assignment as PP4C in 2016 and delivered the project completely at the end of last year. A beautiful 1200 m2 large realized reference work, on which Kuijpers and Brecon look back with pride. On our PP4C site you will see this beautiful work described as a reference. In the coming days it wil be also described on our PP4CE site!

PP4CE is Gold Sponsor on EHEDG

PP4CE is Gold Sponsor on the EHEDG World Congress, 21 and 22 November in London!

PP4CE is a member of the EHEDG organization, the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group, founded in 1989 as a non-profit consortium. The principal goal of EHEDG is the promotion of safe food production by improving hygienic engineering and design in all aspects of food manufacture.

In November the EHEDG is organising his annual World Congress in London. By attending this EHEDG flagship event, you will gain a deeper understanding of Hygienic Engineering & Design principles and related solutions in hygienic food manufacturing and processing. A visit will deliver you an update on the most recent developments in these fields and give you an insight into the EHEDG expert know-how. Get inspired by the internationally renowned EHEDG speakers and learn from them about the current trends and best practices in hygienic equipment design, as well as about adequate product and factory implementation.

This year’s congress sessions will particularly highlight Building and Equipment design, Cleaning, Innovations as well as Upgrading and Renovation, offering you a lot of know-how for implementation into your own product design and production processes.

Based on the PP4CE Controlled Environment activities in the Food market, we are supporting EHEDG activities in general and try to create a higher awareness for the design guidelines 44 and 47, and by building medium- and high care facilities improving the Foodsafety results, specificly.
