Home > Commercial > Sectors > Packing Houses

For 40 years Galebreaker has been a trusted provider of warehouse partitioning, industrial insulated doors, and protective equipment for packing houses and food processing facilities. Our solutions are designed to prevent cross-contamination, infestation, damp, and weather-related damage, ensuring a safe and efficient working environment.

Using industry-leading materials and the latest research and development, we help businesses meet strict health and safety standards while maintaining well-ventilated, productive workspaces. Whether you need climate control, biosecurity, or operational efficiency, Galebreaker delivers proven, high-performance solutions tailored to your facility’s needs.

Airborne insects and debris

Open areas where food and other products are manufactured can be vulnerable to the intrusion of flying insects and debris. These insects can contaminate produce and prove very costly if not controlled. The obvious solution is to close all doors and windows but where machinery is being operated and temperatures are high this is not always possible. Galebreaker access solutions and internal partitioning systems can help keep out unwanted visitors while maintaining a comfortable working environment for staff. Herefordshire-based company, Alfaplas benefitted from ventilating industrial doors while keeping insects out of their production facility.


The importance of flexible partitioning in commercial environments

Packing houses handle sensitive food products that require strict environmental control to ensure hygiene, safety, and efficiency. Galebreaker industrial partitioning systems provide a versatile and effective solution for maintaining clean, well-organised workspaces by separating processing zones, preventing cross-contamination, and improving climate control.

These durable partitions help regulate temperature, humidity, and airflow, reducing the risk of spoilage, infestation, and condensation—key concerns in food packing environments. By using high-quality, weather-resistant materials, Galebreaker partitions also enhance operational flexibility, allowing businesses to adapt their layouts as needed while ensuring compliance with strict food safety regulations.

Galebreaker Industrial Doors: Built for Performance and Durability

At Galebreaker, we design high-performance roller shutter doors to meet the unique demands of modern industrial premsises. Our most popular models, such as the Maxidoor Classic and Classic Plus, are perfect for common shed sizes, fitting bay widths up to 20ft (6m). For even larger openings, the Maxidoor Pro extends up to 6.5m, offering enhanced versatility.

For extra-wide machinery access, our Trackscreen and Maxidoor Fold solutions are designed to span openings up to 20 meters, making them ideal for large commercial buildings that standard doors can’t accommodate. Most of our doors come with manual or electric operation, allowing you to choose between a remote control system for up to eight doors or a simple push-button system for effortless use.

Manufactured in Herefordshire using high-quality European components, all Galebreaker doors are built to last and come with a 10-year guarantee for long-term reliability.
