Don’t let hygiene be your blind spot

0

In the food industry, hygiene is critical and there’s no room for compromise. As standards evolve and audit expectations rise, having the right systems in place is essential for protecting your people, product, and brand.

“Effective hygiene isn’t just having a few tools on a wall,” says Hadleigh McPherson, CEO of New Zealand Brush Company. “It’s about controlling risk across your entire site; boots, hands, tools, PPE, and product flow.”

That’s where NZ Brush says it adds value. With over 100 years of experience, McPherson describes the company as “New Zealand’s trusted partner in contamination control” delivering industrial-grade hygiene equipment built for high-performance environments. It works alongside food producers and processors to supply equipment that’s robust, compliant, and designed to withstand the demands of real-world use.

The range includes automatic boot cleaners, footbaths, PPE, and a full suite of colour-coded brushware and shadowboards. Also offered are specialist technologies including metal detectable (MDX) tools, anti-microbial options, and resin set filament retention systems that are ideal for high-care and high-risk zones where even microscopic contamination must be controlled.

More importantly, McPherson says, the company helps businesses design systems that work – matching tools to site layout, process flow, and risk profile.

“Some of our best work is helping customers design smarter hygiene zones. We look at how people and product move through a site, then tailor solutions to fit that flow.”

NZ Brush will be showcasing its latest innovations in food-safe hygiene control, 5S shadowboards, and audit-ready cleaning technology at Foodtech Packtech.
