Commercial Door & Dock Solutions for Food & Beverage Facilities
Food and beverage facilities operate under some of the most demanding door and dock requirements in any industry — CFIA compliance, temperature control, sanitation, and constant high-traffic throughput. A contamination event or cold chain failure isn’t just an operational problem, it’s a regulatory and liability problem. Wilcox has been working in food environments for decades. We know the requirements, we spec the right equipment, and we document every installation and service visit.
Built for Food Environments. Compliant from Day One.
From rubber impact doors in processing areas to insulated high-speed doors on cold chain docks, Wilcox supplies and installs door and dock systems built for the sanitary, thermal, and compliance demands of food and beverage production. Our technicians understand CFIA requirements, HACCP principles, and Health Canada facility standards. We don’t send a general handyman into a food plant — we send certified Ironworkers who know the environment they’re working in.
