Gundagai Meat Processors (GMP)
Company Profile
Gundagai Meat Processors (GMP) is a 100% Australian-owned lam processing company in Gundagai, NSW. Operating a state-of-the-art-export-certified facility that processes about one million lambs each year, contracting with the likes of Coles and McDonald’s. The business is built around innovation, sustainability and a strong focus on modernisation with responsible operations.
Overview
To meet Gundagai Meat Processors’ requirements for enhanced and expanded production capacity, including new slaughter, chiller, and boning operations, Roxset collaborated closely with the client to design and delivery specialised production flooring solutions tailored to each area’s unique needs.
Challenges
Key flooring challenges GMP faced for the project included:
- Required flooring that withstands seven-day-a-week operations (due to minimal weekend shutdowns) with a high level of daily traffic, heavy equipment thermal shock, and chemical exposure.
- Strict export and food safety standards require seamless, non-porous surface handling of large volumes of liquids at all stages of production.
- Tight project timelines to minimise operational downtime.
Why GMP Chose Roxset
- Under foot Safety: The number 1 priority to minimise safety incidents with highly durable, slip-resistant, food-grade flooring systems specifically engineered for we and heavy-use environments, ensuring worker safety, regulatory compliance, and long-term performance in critical processing areas, including the kill floor.
- Compliance: Proven performance against HACCP, AQIS, DAFF and export audit requirements
- Durability & Warranty Length: Long-lasting, high-performance surfaces suited to high-traffic, wet and chilled environments (chillers) with an extensive warranty.
- Reliability: Proven on-time delivery aligned to strict operational schedules.
Implementation
Working closely with GMP’s engineering and maintenance management, Roxset has executed the installation in tightly controlled stages to maintain continuity of operations, including:
- Flooring: 1800 SQM of Roxset SE4 @ 6mm to all ‘high risk slip zones’
- Coving: @ 250mm (high) to all floor/wall intersections.
- Additional Works: to hobs, plinth, expansion joints and platforms in operational areas.
Rigorous safety standards were followed throughout, and each section underwent detailed quality checks to ensure compliance with GMP’s operational and regulatory requirements, Roxset flooring systems passed all compliance audits, including HACCP, AQIS and export certifications.
Outcomes
The upgraded flooring significantly improved underfoot safety for team members, reduced maintenance downtime, and delivered a durable, hygienic surface built to support GMP’s growth. The Roxset solution has proven reliable under heavy daily use, aligning with GMP’s commitment to quality, efficiency, and long-term operational excellence.
