ESI Group

Founded in 1896, Frick’s Quality Meats is a fifth-generation, family-owned producer of premium smoked meats, known for its smoked hams, sausages and ready-to-eat meat products. The building is seen here after a previous expansion project completed in 2019, also by ESI Group.

ESI Group, a leading design-build firm specializing in advanced industrial and climate-controlled facilities, announced an expansion project for Frick’s Quality Meats in Washington, Missouri.

The project includes the design and construction of a 63,500-square-foot freezer, cooler and dock addition designed to support Frick’s continued operational growth and distribution capabilities. 

In addition to the facility expansion, the project scope includes upgrades to the site’s medium-voltage utility services to accommodate the increased infrastructure demands.
