Modular Wall System (MWS) specialises in supplying and installing modular wall systems for hygiene-critical manufacturing and storage environments.
Its BRANZ-approved PVC panels are ideal for cleanroom partitions, modular cleanrooms, hygienic wall cladding, internal wall partitions, movable walls, and commercial partitioning, offering a durable, bacteria-, mould-, and chemical-resistant solution that is quick to install, low maintenance, reusable, and designed to meet strict hygiene, food safety, and compliance requirements.
More New Zealand manufacturing businesses have moved to the HygieneClad system because it solves a real problem for New Zealand manufacturers, especially in food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals: long-term hygiene.
One of the biggest issues MWS highlighted was that traditional insulated panels in food processing facilities tend to deteriorate. Although cleanrooms and hygiene-care spaces are designed to protect production, product quality, and people, the room itself can become part of the problem when the wall system is difficult to maintain.
In wet or highly sanitised environments that require frequent chemical washdowns, protective coatings can be damaged, allowing corrosion to develop underneath. Over time, bubbling paint, rust and flaking coatings can create serious contamination risks.
Repainting may improve the appearance, but it only hides the underlying problem. These deteriorations may look like maintenance issues, but a single piece of foreign matter entering the production process can cause failed inspections, shutdowns, and costly product recalls.
HygieneClad is a revolutionary non-corrosive wall and ceiling lining system designed to help facilities maintain high hygiene standards long term. Its seamless, non-porous surface doesn't absorb moisture, rot, rust, or corrode.
Because it’s non-absorbent, it withstands rapid, heavy washdowns, making it essential for meeting strict HACCP, FDA, and NZBC food safety and demanding commercial hygiene requirements.
Specific drivers for Hygiene-Clad demand
- Strict Regulatory Compliance: Facilities require surfaces that produce low bacterial counts during routine swab testing. Systems like Hygiene-Clad are BRANZ-approved and meet modern hygienic construction codes.
- Reduced Cleaning Costs: Traditional walls require frequent painting, repair, and tedious grout scrubbing. These PVC systems are virtually maintenance-free and easy to wipe down.
- Long-Term Durability: The non-porous sheets do not rot, rust, or corrode when exposed to moisture or harsh sanitising chemicals.
- Fast, Seamless Installation: The patented tongue-and-groove system with hidden fasteners reduces bacterial traps and speeds installation.
- Fire Safety Savings: HygieneClad panels carry a Class A fire rating, improving facility safety and potentially lowering insurance premiums.
As a trusted supplier of quality wall and ceiling systems for commercial and industrial projects, MWS has installed a wide range of hygienic cleanrooms throughout New Zealand for cleanrooms, food processing facilities, laboratories, pharmaceutical environments, and other controlled areas.
For customers who prefer to manage their own installation, MWS can also supply the HygieneClad system directly.
