Stonhard Recognized as Top Floor Supplier by Food Processing Magazine

Maple Shade, NJ, April 23, 2010 --(PR.com)-- For the fourth time, Stonhard has been named a leading floor supplier for the food and beverage industry by Food Processing magazine, as part of its annual “Readers’ Choice Awards.”

The Awards marked their eighth anniversary in the March 2010 edition of Food Processing, and name the top suppliers in the categories of Equipment, Packaging, Services, Flavors and Ingredients. Winners were determined by email surveys to an abbreviated circulation list as well as through votes collected on the Food Processing web site.

This award reinforces Stonhard’s leading market position in the food and beverage industry. Stonhard has been providing durable, safe, high-performance flooring solutions to the food and beverage industry for more than 87 years and has continued to provide floor systems with the utmost safety of both consumers and employees in mind.

To ensure optimal sanitary conditions, Stonhard floors are seamless, without any joints or cracks for dirt and bacteria to become trapped. They are simple to maintain and because the floors have a textured surface, the risk of employee slip and fall incidents is significantly reduced. With the addition of an optional, anti-microbial agent, floors benefit from a permanent shield against a wide range of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and fungi.

In addition, Stonhard floors resist chemical attack, impact, abrasion and temperature extremes. And, because they become a permanent part of the building, Stonhard floors are sustainable and offer a long term return on investment by eliminating the need for costly repairs and disruption to work flow.

Each Stonhard floor system sold is backed by a single source warranty that covers both product and installation and guarantees complete customer satisfaction.
