Whether custom-designed or built from owner-provided specs, we implement equipment solutions for customers in sanitary processing, pharmaceuticals & bioprocessing, industrial manufacturing, vacuum science, and more. We offer a large fabrication shop with comprehensive manufacturing capabilities, powered by a team of more than 200 equipment professionals, including machinists, welders, finishers, assemblers, and a dedicated support staff.
