At Birko, we take food safety seriously, and nothing is more important to us than making sure your products are safe, secure and pathogen-free. And our level of service and care is second to none. Take it from these customers who partner with Birko on food safety.
“We chose Birko to be a partner with us here because they’re an industry leader when it comes to intervention technology and meat processing. For us, the Elite 360 has enabled us to do additional business that we didn’t have the opportunity for.”
Chris Williams, General Manager
Pineland Farms, New Gloucester, Maine
“Birko helped us design, build, and implement an outstanding intervention program for our grinding facility based on the Antimicrobial Spray Conveyor and Beefxide. Knowing that we are doing everything we can to protect the food chain definitely helps us sleep better at night. Thanks, Birko!”

Stone Meats, Ogden, Utah
“It’s important to have a good sanitation partner such as Birko, to ensure that we do not present at atmosphere for bacteria or micro growth. Birchwood would recommend Birko as being a partner in food safety because it’s more than just a chemical supplier. Birko offers a whole line of assistance.”

“We are very pleased with our newly installed laundry system. We were taking a substantial number of frocks out of commission each day because we couldn’t get them clean enough. Since we started using Birko’s Laundry system, we’ve dramatically reduced our rewash, saving us money on the frocks, but have also become more efficient, which is also saving us on water, energy and labor. Our technical sales rep and the Birko team has been with us every step of the way. Their knowledge and responsiveness can’t be beat. I know I can always count on our rep and the entire Birko team.”
Barry Trotter, Services Supervisor

“Birko knows laundry and their service is unmatched. We all know how stressful it can be to install and start up new equipment, that’s why it was so great when Birko took on helping us with our new laundry and chemical pumping system. Thanks to the Birko team, we had a smooth and successful startup of our new system. We can’t afford any downtime with our laundry so I appreciate that they regularly monitor our pumps and formulations which they report back to us so that we can ensure that everything is running smooth, safe and efficient.”

“The Automatic Mixing Station gives me confidence that we are maintaining consistent, reliable intervention spray dilution rates. The automation has allowed us to experience an increase in production flow, and a savings in labor. Birko’s equipment is durable and reliable, and because of its value to Lower Foods, we are continuing to purchase and install additional units on our plant floor.”
Mike Mortensen, Plant Manager
Lower Foods, Salt Lake City, UT
“Birko’s technical rep taught us some great practices around dating and covering equipment that was not in use, and dating plastic that we had to hang due to an issue. His leadership was instrumental in us having a successful audit. We look forward to working with Birko as we continue our CI initiatives.”
Tom Christensen, Plant Manager
GoodHeart Brand Specialty Foods, San Antonio, Texas
“We have been pleased working with Birko, and that relationship has only strengthened with the addition of the Elite 360 system. As a Birko customer for over 10 years, I can attest to the reliability and quality of the equipment, as well as the exceptional customer service.”
