At DeJong Consulting LLC we are proud to announce the acquisition of Metallum Welding, a nationally recognized provider of sanitary welding and stainless steel process piping services for the food and beverage industry. The acquisition expands DeJong’s ability to deliver complete design-build solutions for processing facilities across the United States.
The partnership combines DeJong Consulting’s expertise in food plant engineering and facility construction with Metallum Welding’s extensive experience in sanitary welding and hygienic system installation. Together, the companies will provide manufacturers with a more streamlined approach to designing, building, and upgrading FDA-compliant production facilities.
As food and beverage manufacturers continue investing in modernization and expansion, the need for integrated project delivery has become increasingly important. By bringing Metallum Welding into its operations, DeJong strengthens its ability to self-perform critical phases of construction while maintaining tighter control over quality, scheduling, and coordination throughout the life of a project.
Metallum Welding has earned a strong reputation for precision TIG welding, stainless steel pipefitting, and sanitary installations in highly regulated environments. The company has contributed to projects involving some of the most recognized names in food and beverage manufacturing, including Kraft, Chobani, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Red Bull, Tyson Foods, Fairlife, Coors, Borden, Wells Enterprises, Arcadia Beverage, Kedem Wine, Mars Candy, Sam Adams, and others.
The acquisition gives DeJong Consulting greater access to a highly experienced sanitary welding workforce capable of supporting large-scale facility construction, retrofits, and production line expansions. This added capability will help accelerate project timelines while supporting the sanitary standards required throughout the industry.
DeJong Consulting has built its reputation around the design and construction of sanitary processing systems that prioritize efficiency, compliance, and long-term operational performance. The company specializes in facility layouts, process engineering, food-grade piping systems, and complete plant development for food and beverage manufacturers nationwide.
Sanitary welding remains one of the most critical aspects of processing facility construction. Proper welding and piping practices are essential for maintaining hygienic conditions, protecting product integrity, and meeting strict food safety regulations. DeJong maintains rigorous quality expectations and follows 3A sanitary standards throughout its projects to help reduce contamination risks and improve system reliability.
With the addition of Metallum Welding, DeJong Consulting further positions itself as a comprehensive partner capable of supporting projects from concept and engineering through installation and final system integration. Clients will benefit from improved communication between engineering and field execution teams, creating a more efficient and accountable construction process.
The combined organizations are focused on supporting the future growth of America’s food and beverage infrastructure by delivering high-performance facilities designed for scalability, safety, and long-term production demands.
