Monin

Monin needed a food-grade distribution facility to support their rapid growth and expanding operations. With manufacturing already established next door, they required a strategically located distribution center that could efficiently service the adjacent facility to support national distribution needs.

In addition to standard food-grade requirements, the project introduced a new operational component for Monin: an integrated cooler with highly precise temperature thresholds built into the space. The facility’s orientation, circulation, and office placement also required careful planning to ensure efficient movement of product between manufacturing and distribution while maintaining operational flow.

Monin engaged Scannell Properties because of its active presence and proven experience building in the Spanish Springs market.

Early collaboration with the client and their consultants allowed Scannell to fully understand their workflow, adjacency needs, and temperature-sensitive storage requirements.

Scannell oversaw the design and construction of a food-grade facility incorporating tightly controlled cold storage temperature thresholds—successfully integrating a cooler component new to Monin’s distribution operations. Special attention was given to building systems, insulation, and sequencing to ensure the cooler met all performance and regulatory standards.

The new distribution center was strategically oriented to optimize efficiency between the manufacturing facility, minimizing handling time and improving logistics flow.

Scannell delivered a 122,000-square-foot build-to-suit facility designed specifically to meet Monin’s operational efficiency, food-grade cold storage components, and growth requirements on time and on budget. The facility performs as intended, supporting Monin’s distribution needs and seamlessly integrating with their manufacturing operations next door.
