Food Factory Flooring: About The Project

Transforming their industrial food factory flooring from old to new, the much-loved family-run company operate on their hygienic resin flooring.

Acrylicon is understandably proud to be able to play a ‘supporting’ role in the success of Tunnock’s in Scotland for their industrial resin flooring.

About Tunnock’s

As Scotland’s best-loved confectionery company – Tunnock’s having a high-performing resin factory floor that offers longevity as well as looking immaculate was essential for a flooring solution.

Formed by Thomas Tunnock as Tunnock’s in 1890, when he purchased a baker’s shop in Lorne Place, Uddingston. They now have worldwide sales of over £50 million and employ in excess of 500 staff.

The Food Factory Flooring Solution

Over the last 3 years, we’ve been working with Tunnock’s to provide the Acrylicon Décor system into several production areas. This is achieved by using our Traffic Red colour as it’s a great match for the Tea-Cake wrapping.

The substrate was prepared by a combination of shot-blasting and hand-grinding the surface to remove any latex, laitance and contamination.

Having fully cleaned and vacuumed the floor, a primer coat was applied, followed by the Acrylicon Décor system. We’ve also created a 100mm high, 50mm radius coving to the wall/floor interface.

A stainless steel coving trim was used to leave a high quality and aesthetic finish.

The Results

Hygiene and aesthetics were at the heart of this project, delivering a solution that enabled peace of mind to customers that they’re receiving sanitary confectionary.

In addition, the finished result also brought about a unique, eye-catching look that complimented Tunnock’s brand.

Here at Acrylicon, we listen to our clients needs to deliver solutions that match their unique needs.
