Kingspan Insulated Panels North America, Deland, Fla., provides an energy-efficient, durable enclosure system in a contemporary palette that complements the 75-year-old company’s cutting-edge profile. In doing so, it elevated a new headquarters and refrigerated processing/shipping facility of a major sustainable produce supplier to LEED Gold status.

Kingspan, the global manufacturer of insulated metal panels (IMPs) for building construction, developed a combination of precision-engineered wall and roof systems to help Deardorff Family Farms of Oxnard, Calif., construct a high-performance building enclosure for a variety of functions. Deardorff, a fourth-generation vegetable processor on 2,000 acres, more than doubled its ability to cool, process and pack its array of organically farmed crops with the new facility.
