Johnsonville USA - Ongoing Partnership
Since the construction of the Johnsonville plant in the early 1970’s, Rohde Brothers has worked with Johnsonville Sausage’s engineering department to support small and large projects throughout their multi-plant meat processing campus.
Rohde Brothers has embraced this partnership as an opportunity to bring value to the table and provide ingenuity in all solutions presented whether it be as small as a control program change of the corporate office HVAC systems, to process and waste water treatment plant installation and maintenance projects.
The Meadowside Plant Expansion is a great example of this partnership. Rohde completed the HVAC work for the 81,600 square foot expansion that included ventilation, controls and steam piping for new custom cook equipment.
