Client Background

The Kraft Heinz Company, one of the largest global food and beverage leaders, boasts a rich heritage in providing quality products across 40+ countries.

Facility Description

This project took place in a significant Kraft Heinz research and development office located in Glenview, Illinois. The facility, spanning over 100,000 sq. ft., is pivotal for the innovation and development of Kraft Heinz products, necessitating an environment that reflects the company's high standards for quality and efficiency.

Requested Maintenance

The scope of this project centered on the interior painting of the facility, including offices and conference rooms. Given the vast size of the office and the continuous need for upkeep, the Kraft Heinz maintenance staff sought external expertise to manage routine painting and small repairs efficiently.

Decision Driver and Timing

The primary driver for this project was the internal team's inability to keep up with the demand for regular maintenance, leading to the strategic decision to outsource this task to ensure the facility remains in pristine condition. Painters USA was contracted to provide ongoing painting services two days every month, addressing priority areas as needed.

Scope of Work

Interior painting of various rooms, specifically targeting previously painted walls in designated areas
Exclusion of wood doors, vinyl base, and drop ceilings from the painting process
Comprehensive preparation including masking, covering, and protecting all non-painting areas

Given Kraft Heinz's stature in the food and beverage industry, choosing Zero VOC paint was crucial to align with the company's environmental and safety standards, demonstrating Painters USA's ability to tailor solutions to industry-specific requirements.
