Food & Beverage Processing

Refrigeration, process piping, HVAC and stainless fabrication for Central Valley food and beverage plants. One contractor, our own shop, on call 24/7.

One Call for the Whole Plant

A food plant runs on systems that don't wait. The cold room has to hold temperature, the process lines have to stay clean, and the line can't sit idle while three contractors work out whose problem it is.

Champion Industrial has worked in California plants since 1933. Our HVAC, refrigeration, pipefitting, sheet metal and millwright crews work for one company, so one call covers the job.

We fabricate in our own shop in Modesto. Pipe spools, platforms, tanks and conveyor parts are built while your plant keeps running, then installed in your shutdown window.
