Willowbrook Foods: smarter disinfection and traceability
Northern Ireland. Genco designed and installed an automated disinfection dosing system for Willowbrook Foods, improving traceability, reducing manual workload and supporting consistent product quality and longer shelf life.

Problem
Willowbrook Foods, a leading food producer in Northern Ireland, needed to upgrade its traditional disinfection system.
The business wanted closer monitoring and control, less human error and improved production quality and product shelf life.
Solution
Genco designed and installed an automated disinfection dosing system with complete traceability.
Combined with a ready-mixed, low-chlorite cleaning solution, the highly automated process delivers consistent monitoring and dosing while reducing manual workload and removing reliance on manual dosing decisions.

Result
The dosing system gave Willowbrook Foods complete traceability, helping the business secure a major new business win.
It substantially reduced by-product build-up, eliminated chemical odours in the processing hall and increased product shelf life. Together, these changes improved operational efficiency, traceability and product quality.
