Why it works

Four problems. One partner.

Most sanitation providers solve one of these. QSI solves all four — because they're not actually separate problems.

🛡️
Food Safety & FSQA

Your USDA inspector shouldn't be your first line of defense.

QSI embeds food safety into every shift — ATP monitoring, pathogen intervention protocols, and a team that knows what pre-op ready actually means. Indiana Packers reduced NR findings while USDA scrutiny increased.

⚙️
Operations Support

Your production team should be running production.

When sanitation is a problem, your supervisors rotate early mornings instead of running lines. QSI takes full accountability — so your ops leaders can focus on throughput, not babysitting.

👥
Staffing & HR Burden

Sanitation turnover shouldn't be your problem.

The average sanitation team turns over at 80%+. QSI absorbs that. Proprietary training, retention programs, and on-site leadership mean you stop hiring for a job that isn't yours.

📋
Regulatory Compliance

Compliance is built in, not bolted on.

QSI teams are trained specifically for USDA-regulated environments. From SSOPs to corrective action documentation, the paper trail is handled — so inspections are events, not emergencies.

01
Largest pork plant in North America · 37,000 hogs/day

Smithfield Foods — Tar Heel, NC

Pork Processing
6 monthsMore leadership visibility than years prior
The challenge

A 20-year sanitation partner had stopped showing up. Leadership was invisible. Inconsistent results, recurring QA findings, and rising rework costs were eroding production efficiency.

USDA-regulated · Multi-facility expansion

Bob Evans Farms — Xenia, OH

Fresh Sausage & Meat Processing
3 sitesExpansion triggered after first site success
The challenge

Production supervisors were rotating early mornings to babysit sanitation. High turnover on the sanitation team was causing delayed production start times and daily friction.

Greenfield build · Remote location · 5-year track record

Prestage Farms — Eagle Grove, IA

Pork Processing
0Chargeable downtime events in 5 years
The challenge

Brand-new facility needed a sanitation partner from pre-construction through production launch in a remote location with a limited labor pool. No margin for a slow start.

It was the most seamless transition I've ever experienced. I was very cautious about 3rd party sanitation based on horror stories from team members with previous experience, but I didn't have any of that to contend with.

The integrated advantage

QSI is one part of a vertically-integrated system.

70% of food and beverage facilities lack a real wastewater solution. Most sanitation providers can't even have that conversation. QSI is part of Vincit Group — eight specialized industrial services companies operating under one strategy.

When Bob Evans expanded beyond sanitation into chemicals, they didn't need a second vendor. Zee Company was already there.
