Food Industry Flooring Solutions in New Zealand
Hygienic, Durable, and MPI‑Compliant Flooring for Food & Beverage Facilities
With over 30 years of experience, EC Flooring installs high-performance flooring systems for breweries, food processing plants, dairies, and commercial kitchens across New Zealand. We focus on hygienic, non-slip, and chemical-resistant finishes that meet the demands of food-grade environments.
What “MPI‑Compliant Flooring” Means
Under the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), any space involved in food production must meet strict hygiene and safety standards, including:
- Seamless, non-porous surfaces that don’t absorb contaminants
- Cleanable finishes built to handle frequent wash‑downs
- Chemical and heat resistance to withstand tough cleaning agents
- Slip resistance, even when wet or greasy
These standards support both the Food Act 2014 and Risk Management Programmes (RMPs).
Why Compliance Matters
Using the wrong flooring can lead to:
- Bacterial build-up or product contamination
- Failed audits or MPI inspections
- Injury risks and costly downtime
A proper system protects your people and processes right from the start.
