Hawley Associates are world leading experts in most aspects of food processing having worked in the poultry, meat, and fish processing industries for 3 decades.

Our lead consultant has over 30 years of food processing experience gained from designing and managing the implementation of food processing projects and trouble-shooting existing processing operations.

We are particularly expert poultry processing, cut up and packaging, which is generally excepted as the most automated and technically developed area of the food processing industry.

As experts in this complex area of food processing, we are ideally placed to help move your food processing operations forward because we understand how systems and principles used in other areas of food processing can benefit you.

Here are some areas where we can offer unique help:

New Factory or Production Process

We are very experience in factory design across many types of food processing sectors. We have extensive knowledge of equipment manufactures and their systems including storage, refrigeration, freezing, product handling, further processing and packaging. We design factories or individual processing lines to most efficiently produce the required product while not only focusing on efficiency but also capital, running and maintenance costs. Our experience will help you produce a more efficient processing facility at a reduced capital cost.

"There have never been greater consequences to profitability and success by not extracting every fraction of yield"

Increase Productivity or Throughput

We are very adept at absorbing how you operate now and will, facilitating new ideas, systems and improvements to help increase efficiency, productivity and throughput. By quickly being able to appreciate how equipment and systems used extensively in other areas of food production can assist your current operations, we are able to painlessly increase productivity and production.

Improve Yield or Reduce Waste

With higher and higher processing speeds, ever increasing production complexities, there have never been greater consequences to profitability and success by not extracting every fraction of yield from raw materials, minimising waste or realising the maximum revenue from by-products.

We can help you identify where yield is being lost and help you implement changes to make real yield improvemants. We will help you ensure that you are extracting the best revenue possible for waste and by-products.

Rationalise Existing Facilities or Integrate New Ones

Hawley Associates have vast experience in analysing the operations of multi-processing plant food companies with a view of increasing efficiency, removing duplication, rationalising activities or integrating new production facilities. We are very commercially minded and by using our vest knowledge and experience we can help you to get your multi location operations running like a well oiled Swiss watch.
