Chemstore supplies hazardous material storage solutions to food and beverage manufacturers, processors and packaging facilities across the UK. Food production sites may store cleaning chemicals, refrigerant gases, pest-control substances, laboratory reagents, maintenance solvents and processing chemicals. Chemstore provides secure, segregated and bunded storage systems designed to support COSHH, DSEAR, environmental requirements and food-safety controls while protecting personnel, products and production areas.
Food and beverage production is not always associated with hazardous materials, yet facilities across the sector routinely store and use a wide range of substances that require strict control. From hygiene chemicals and refrigeration gases to laboratory reagents and maintenance products, safe storage is essential to protect product integrity, maintain compliance, and safeguard personnel.
Food production sites commonly handle:
Each category introduces specific risks relating to contamination, toxic exposure, fire, environmental impact, and regulatory non-compliance. In food environments, improper storage can also compromise product safety and brand reputation, making compliant hazardous material management a critical operational requirement.
Chemstore designs and supplies certified hazardous storage systems developed for hygiene-critical production environments. Our solutions are used across food and beverage manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and packaging operations to ensure hazardous substances are safely segregated from raw materials, finished goods, and production zones.
Our food sector storage solutions are designed to:
From compact chemical cabinets to external hazardous stores, our systems are configured to meet both operational workflow requirements and strict hygiene standards.
Food manufacturers operate under intensive scrutiny from regulators, certification bodies, and major retail customers. Demonstrating proper storage and management of hazardous materials is essential for maintaining accreditation and protecting supply chain approval.
Chemstore storage systems support compliance with recognised food industry standards, including:
Design features such as sealed sumps, corrosion-resistant construction, controlled access, and inspection-ready layouts help facilities meet audit requirements and demonstrate robust risk management practices.
In food production, the consequences of improper chemical storage can extend beyond safety incidents to include product recalls, lost contracts, and reputational damage. Secure, compliant storage plays a vital role in contamination prevention and operational assurance.
Chemstore works with food and beverage producers of all sizes, from artisan manufacturers to multinational processors, providing tailored hazardous storage systems aligned with site-specific risks and operational needs.
Our support spans the full project lifecycle, including requirements assessment, specification, manufacture, installation, commissioning, and ongoing inspection and maintenance. The result is a storage solution that balances rigorous safety compliance with the accessibility and practicality essential to efficient food production operations.
