Intralox announces the opening of its Center of Excellence For Food Safety and Hygiene in Grand Rapids, Mich. The latest opening marks the 11th Intralox facility worldwide. The opening of the new office, led by Intralox Grand Rapids general manager Jeff Batchelder, will house research and development, a test lab and training facilities focused on product development to improve food safety quality.
Intralox enhanced its food safety product line by acquiring ThermoDrive, a solid homogeneous belting with low-maintenance and positive-drive operation, from Mol Belting Systems in 2009. The company also added Commercial Food Sanitation, a food safety consulting company, to its portfolio in June 2012.
