We focus almost exclusively on French Fry and Potato Chip Processing. We know the tough challenges within these industries, and when we can't help, we know who can.
While attending engineering school, I never imagined French Fries as a career. I studied engineering precisely to avoid making fries for life. Now 20 yrs later, my expertise is French Fries.
Actually, our expertise at Projex Consultants is helping potato processors plan and executecomplex capital projects that Maximize Revenue, Unlock Capacity, Slash Operating Costs, and Enhance Safety Performance. My goal is to get similar results for you, quickly.

Why work with Projex?
Experience Huge Value
Our small, remote team's strong understanding of the industry minimizes costly onboarding, wasteful churn, and expensive hourly billing common with larger engineering firms. We price our services to suit the project situation and reflect the value we provide. You can be sure we're always supporting you as efficiently as possible.
Amplify Your Productivity
Staying competitive requires maximum productivity. Managing capital projects in-house means juggling competing priorities, potentially minimizing your focus on training, operations, or technology development. Or perhaps you're experiencing staffing challenges and increasingly rely on vendors to manage more scope through turnkey projects.
It's common to partner with outside experts for many reasons, but few firms have the depth and breadth of french fry processing facilities as us. When you partner with us, we're quick to align with your goals and lead projects on your behalf without constant hand-holding.
Benefit from our strong track record
Our nearly 20 years of experience in capital project management in french fry and potato processing has included replacing worn-out equipment and revitalizing tired facilities on extremely tight schedules. We've also implemented leading-edge technologies and established new high-capacity factories that have advanced the french fry industry. Two such projects were amongst the largest french fry factories in the world. Our creative approaches consistently help our clients stay on schedule and on budget.
Confidentiality
Your competitive advantage is safe with us. We uphold strict confidentiality among vendors and clients (many of which serve all the major processors). It's common for us to execute Non-Disclosure Agreements when the situation demands discretion.
