The company always cares about consumers’ health and eco-friendly technology. That’s also a reason why they choose Stonhard for their renovation project.
Our client had problem with its old self-leveling flooring system just after 6 months of operation. And it needed to be renovated. After Infloor introduced Stonhard products, they were convinced that Stonhard would be able to provide a long-term flooring solution as well as meeting food safety standards.
We had the first cooperation with 300 square meters of renovating floor. After a long time of operating Stonhard flooring system, the company was completely satisfied with its quality and Infloor’s construction service as well.
Thus, they continued to cooperate with Infloor for another 1000 square meters of new processing area.

COLD STORAGE (Dong Thap Province)
Being one of the largest and oldest manufacturers of rice, livestock feed and catfish in the region, with its blooming success, the company was looking to expand and needed additional cold storage space. While looking for a solution for this new area, they realized that the floor had to meet other specific details besides its ability to handle the freezing temperatures during operation. Because the plant is inspected annually by different countries and agencies for export license purposes, it was extremely important for the floor to be seamless and easy to clean while meeting FDA/HAACP standards. Furthermore, it had to also withstand the daily operation of forklift traffic.
After consulting with Infloor, the company was convinced that Stonhard would be able to provide with a long-term flooring solution that would not need to be repaired every three to five years. This was important because low-cost epoxies had caused floor failures at the storage in the past. Necessary repairs and shutdown periods resulted in lost revenue for the company, prompting their need for a better and more permanent solution.
Our client understood that by investing in a high-performance flooring solution, they would spend less money over time. With Stonclad UR meeting international standards for food manufacturing, the company has the confidence to operate its cold storage facility and export products to the global market.

SAUSAGE MANUFACTURING FACTORY (Long An Province)
Priding themselves on being a state of the art, aseptic food processing company who not only meets, but exceeds regulations for food safety and quality assurance; it’s no surprise the company chose Stonhard for the floors in their new sausage manufacturing factory.
“The floor is the first thing they see, and it sets the tone for the quality of our work and our professionals” – said the project manager, explaining why they invest in a high performance floor system.
Since oil is used in the manufacture of sausage, a top concern was employee safety; the company needed a floor that would remain slip resistant, even when wet or oily, to minimize the risk of slip and fall incidents. The floor would also need to be extremely durable, easy to clean, stain resistant and be able to withstand thermal shock.
Infloor suggested that Stonclad UT, a highly resistant system that was formulated specifically to hold up to the rigors of the food and beverage industry, would be the best option for production areas. The floor would be able to withstand impact, abrasion and temperature extremes, and with the addition of a textured aggregate, would be slip resistant.
