FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NAMPA, Idaho, 10/07/2026 Hansen-Rice, Inc. (HRI), a national integrated solution provider and consultative design-build firm for cold storage, automated warehousing, food processing, and industrial manufacturing facilities, will exhibit at PACK EXPO International 2026, October 18-21 at McCormick Place in Chicago. Attendees can find the HRI team in the Lakeside Center Lower Level at Booth LL-10002.

A Different Way to Think About Project Delivery

HRI will introduce attendees to a superior model for control and certainty around project scope, schedule, price, and risk through HRI's Assured Delivery Program (ADP)™, an audited Integrated Management System (IMS) with documented processes certified to three ISO standards for Quality, Environmental, and Occupational Health and Safety (ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018, respectively). Triple certification is very rare among national consulting design-build firms, and HRI holds all three.

"Many PACK EXPO attendees come to learn about the technology vital to their operations. Hansen-Rice is there to provide consultative support and solutions that consider process and equipment along with the whole facility as an integrated system, and how an integrated approach leads to better outcomes for owners and operators, especially when evaluating new facilities, expansion, or upgrades involving added equipment, packaging lines, or automation. Integrated subject matter expertise around utilities, regulatory issues, structural, permitting, construction, and CQV is essential to protect the client’s interest."

Ryan Stegall, Business Manager, Food & Beverage, Hansen-Rice

Full-Lifecycle Accountability

HRI’s full capital project lifecycle guidance and execution, from planning and site selection through commissioning, startup, and operational support are backed by Bondable Advice™.

About Hansen-Rice, Inc.

Hansen-Rice, Inc. (HRI) is a national integrated solution provider and consultative design-build firm for cold storage, automated warehousing, food processing, and industrial manufacturing facilities.

HRI's unique Assured Delivery Program (ADP)™ triple-certifies what others can only imply. As an audited Integrated Management System (IMS) with documented processes, the ADP meets three internationally accepted standards: ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018.

We stand behind what we say with Bondable Advice™ when others don't. Our accountability extends well beyond construction when the same HRI team that advises also designs, builds, and delivers. Seamless handoffs and integrated systems ensure continuity and quality. HRI guides and delivers across the full capital project lifecycle for planning, site selection, feasibility study, funding strategy, preconstruction, facility design, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, startup, operational support, and capital project risk management.

HRI applies client-centric project delivery methods such as Design-Build, Progressive Design-Build, Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), or EPC contracts, properly aligned to a contract type (Lump-Sum, GMP, Cost-Plus) and stage-gated to the owner's goals.

HRI's in-house subject matter experts bring deep knowledge and technical problem-solving for industrial facility design, structural, mechanical, electrical, industrial refrigeration, process engineering, automated material handling, food safety compliance, process safety management (PSM), and CQV services for facility startup.

Founded in 1983, HRI serves 3PL, PRW, Grocery Retailers, Food and Beverage, Engineered Wood, Building Products, and Consumer Packaged Goods manufacturers nationwide, delivering facility projects in 43 of 50 states. Over 75% of our business comes from repeat clients seeking facility solutions for expansions, adaptive re-use, process equipment, or greenfield projects.
