In the simplest terms, there is nothing more important in the distilling industry than process safety compliance. Whether it is IEC61511 in the UK or the international standard NPFA30, legislation is comprehensive and safety requirements are clear and strictly enforced - as they should be.
Since its formation in 1994, Allen Associates has been providing industry-leading process safety solutions for distillers and plant operators in the UK and overseas. The company has provided compliance services for all types of site, from small craft gin distilleries to automated production, handling, and storage facilities.
Process safety is built into the fabric of every project undertaken by the Allen Associates team. Nothing is ever left to chance and no compromises are ever made.
