Specialty Foods Plant Expansion

under planning

Edesia, a nonprofit organization, is planning to expand its specialty foods plant at the Quonset Business Park in North Kingstown. The project scope includes construction of a 200,000-sq-ft building; purchase and installation of stainless steel tanks and piping, automated conveyors, and ingredient storage and dispensing, mixing, blending, cooking, packaging, robotic sorting, racking and palletizing equipment and systems; and purchase of forklifts. Dennis Group has been selected to provide design engineering services for the project. A construction schedule is being developed. The plant produces ready-to-use therapeutic food.
