We implement very stringent project management and health & safety control due to consistently working on live plants and maintaining full production throughout.
An established track record of success in the canning industry
We understand the unique challenges within the canning sector, including product safety for consumers, ongoing compliance with industry regulations, and the need for specialised manufacturing machinery & equipment. We have a wealth of experience working with dedicated manufacturers and OEMs within the sector and we provide a range of specialised installation & relocation services tailored specifically to canning manufacturers and processors from one off machinery moves to full turnkey factory relocations.
Our canning project management team individually assesses client project requirements, including an initial on-site visit where required. We place significant importance on the health & safety of all installation, removals and relocations carried out, which is reflected in our strong safety record.
All specialist plant & equipment is owned by ourselves and our teams of project managers, engineers, riggers & lifting crews are in-house so that we can ensure that all relocations are carried out with the minimal disruption to existing production, within time and to our client’s high expectations.
