Ace Endico takes extra measures for cleanliness and food safety. HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) is a process-control system designed to identify and prevent microbial and other hazards in food production. We are proud to say our shipping and receiving areas are HACCP approved, and optimized with continuous pit and vertical dock plates, ensuring cleanliness and safe handling. This system includes steps designed to prevent problems before they occur, and to correct deviations as soon as they are detected. Our HACCP team monitors temperatures throughout the receiving, storage, and shipping processes which safeguards product integrity and ultimate food safety.

thinking green.

From our state-of-the-art facility and business practices to cost-cutting measures and environmental protection, we actively employ major conservation strategies that add value to both our operation and our customer/vendor investment.

Ace Endico’s facility is designed to be completely self-sufficient.

We operate with our own public water supply through a multiple-well system, and conserve by using greywater for refrigeration. Extensive backup systems, including a one-megawatt generator, help protect against power failure during natural disasters. Savings in electricity are achieved through L.E.D. bulb installation and motion-sensor technology.

Ace Endico strives to minimize paper usage and converts all forms of documentation to digital form. Through an internal Green Initiative, all employees are provided with reusable water bottles and coffee mugs, which allows for a drastic reduction in paper and plastic cups. A companywide recycling program is also in place.

We look forward to the addition of even more conservation efforts, to produce significant and positive sustainability, and environmental impact resulting in productivity gains and costs savings.
