Fayette Janitorial

What Fayette Janitorial does

Fayette Janitorial Service LLC, doing business as Fayette Industrial, is a privately-held contract sanitation company headquartered in Somerville, Tennessee (P.O. Box 866, Somerville, TN 38068). Founded in 2006 and incorporated as an LLC, the firm specializes in on-site cleaning and sanitization services for food processing facilities regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), with a stated FSIS-focused approach for meat, poultry, and pork plants. Its sole service line is delivered directly at customer facilities under multi-period contracts covering equipment and facility sanitation, compliance support, and brand-protection outcomes for enterprise food processors.

The company operates two productized service lines — FDA Contract Sanitation Services and USDA Contract Sanitation Services — both of which are labor-intensive, on-premises managed services rather than software or platform offerings. There is no proprietary technology stack, no AI/ML component, and no patents; differentiation is framed around FDA/USDA domain expertise, compliance-focused hiring, and operational reliability. Customer acquisition is executed through an enterprise field-sales motion: direct outreach, a website contact form with explicit FDA/USDA/compliance routing, and inbound inquiries via phone (901-465-1529) and email ([email protected]), with marketing content distributed via the company's website and partnerships with industry publishers such as food-safety.com.

Geographically, Fayette operates across multiple U.S. states including Tennessee, Virginia, and Iowa, serving enterprise food processors such as Perdue Farms (poultry) and Seaboard Triumph Foods (pork). Leadership comprises CEO Michelle Burns and COO Matthew Armour. The company had 1-10 employees as of the most recent disclosure and is owner-managed with no institutional investors, parent company, or M&A activity in the record. Importantly, the firm has been subject to significant 2024 regulatory scrutiny: the U.S. Department of Labor found illegal employment of minors at Iowa and Virginia plants, a former manager pleaded guilty to conspiracy and identity theft, and the Perdue Farms contract was severed in February 2024. These compliance events materially shape the firm's current operating risk profile.

Core offering

Fayette Janitorial provides contract sanitation and industrial cleaning services for FDA- and USDA-regulated food processing facilities. Crews are deployed on-site at customer plants in Tennessee, Iowa, Virginia, and other U.S. states to perform plant sanitation, deep cleaning, and food-safety sanitation tasks under third-party service agreements. The company operates as an outsourced sanitation contractor rather than a chemical, equipment, or technology vendor.

Product overview

Fayette Industrial (d.b.a. Fayette Janitorial) is an independently-owned contract sanitation service company that operates as a single unified service offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The company provides two core service lines: FDA Contract Sanitation Services and USDA Contract Sanitation Services. Both services focus on cleaning and sanitizing food processing facilities, ensuring compliance with food safety regulations and protecting brand integrity. The company emphasizes reliability, compliance-focused hiring, and a people-first approach to delivering sanitation solutions.
