Project planning, engineering and execution for F&B manufacturers — one technical partner coordinating every decision between your idea and a working production line.
Your plant is more than a building. It's a chain of connected technical decisions.
A successful food or beverage facility depends on getting five things right at once — and getting them to agree with each other. We coordinate the technical decisions that determine whether your plant starts on time, stays within budget, and performs as planned.
The right process.
The right machinery.
The right utilities.
The right layout.
The right execution.
Whether you're setting up a new plant, adding a production line, or expanding an existing facility, Rao provides the technical direction required from planning through commercial production.
Rao acts as your technical representative throughout the project — answering the questions that determine whether the plant works.
Requirements, feasibility, capacity planning, and preliminary layouts.
Process, utilities, piping, electrical, fire safety, civil and structural coordination.
Equipment specifications, vendor comparison, technical evaluation, and cost review.
Site coordination, installation supervision, schedule control, and quality monitoring.
Trials, validation, start-up support, production stabilisation, and handover.
One coordinated project plan, from the first investment decision to commercial production.
Our process and utility designs are developed with food-safety-driven hygienic layout principles relevant to F&B manufacturing — including food-safety-oriented civil and structural inputs during construction.
Our core strength lies in carbonated and non-carbonated beverages across PET, can, and flexible pouch formats, backed by broader experience in aseptic manufacturing, packaged drinking water, and filling and packaging equipment.
Recommendations are based on your project's requirements, capacity, budget, and operating needs — not on what a vendor wants to sell you.
Major technical decisions receive direct attention from an experienced industry professional.
Recommendations consider installation, maintenance, operations, and production realities.
One technical partner coordinates disciplines and stakeholders instead of you managing five vendors.
Equipment and systems are evaluated by total project value, not only purchase price.
The engagement can continue through commissioning, trials, and production stabilisation.
Why not just use our equipment vendor or contractor? A vendor is incentivized to recommend their own equipment; a contractor often protects their own execution margin. Rao has no equipment or construction business to protect — our recommendations answer only to your project.”
Every engagement is directed personally by Satish M.S., ensuring major technical decisions get senior-level attention rather than being delegated to junior staff. For execution-heavy phases, Rao coordinates additional capacity so engagements scale beyond one person's calendar — without losing direct oversight of technical decisions.
Satish M.S. brings more than 22 years of experience in food and beverage manufacturing projects. He has led and supported 20+ small and medium-scale manufacturing projects across India, the Middle East and Africa — including 17 facilities for a single recognised F&B brand, Paper Boat.

I had the privilege to work with Mr. Satish Rao in my capacity as head of Symrise Plant, Jebel Ali, Dubai, UAE. He is so reliable, solution-oriented, open to ideas and eager for challenges. When Mr Rao takes a responsibility, it means it is done.
Satish's key strength is his proactive approach to project management — developing contingency plans to mitigate risks from weather, resource constraints, vendor delays or compressed schedules, ensuring critical milestones are met without compromising quality.
Not every business needs to build a plant — and not every plant needs to sit idle.
Whichever side of the plant you're on, Rao's network and technical judgment make the connection worth making.
Spot audits · Troubleshooting
Line additions
Full lifecycle ownership
Ongoing optimisation · KPI review
A decision made early influences project cost, production efficiency, safety, execution time, and future scalability. Issues caught during a technical review are almost always cheaper to fix than the same issue discovered after equipment is ordered or a line is installed.
