If you’re looking for industrial millwright service in Northeast Ohio for your plant shutdown, CEI has more than 60 years of experience and can handle all your plant maintenance needs.

Planned Plant Maintenance of Machinery and Industrial Equipment

Why should you plan scheduled maintenance for your plant? Planned equipment maintenance and regularly scheduled plant shutdowns allow your business to keep your equipment running at peak performance levels and avoid unnecessary downtime.

A planned maintenance schedule helps prevent equipment breakdowns that can stop production during your busiest times. A regular maintenance schedule for your plant equipment also ensures that you stay in regulatory compliance.

Holiday Plant Shutdowns

The holidays are prime time for plants to shut down production, address equipment needs and perform regular plant maintenance. Turn your holiday shutdown into a preventative maintenance opportunity.

Shutting down your plant for regular machinery maintenance is a useful process that will support your ongoing production. You can head into the new year, knowing your machinery has been thoroughly cleaned, checked and repaired, if necessary. With your machines running at their best, you can meet high production needs, improve safety in your plant and avoid major breakdowns.

As you look at your holiday shutdown schedule, now is the time to schedule plant maintenance. At CEI, we are currently scheduling customers for their holiday maintenance in the fall of 2025 and through the beginning of 2026.
