As Seco Machine expanded its manufacturing services and entered new markets, the company quickly outgrew its North Canton production plant. While building a new 120,000-square-foot facility in Green, Ohio, Seco needed a partner it could trust to relocate its machines without disrupting production. Having worked together for more than 20 years, Seco turned to CEI Crane & Rigging, which had already handled nearly 99 percent of Seco’s previous machine moves and plant relocations.

Although the new facility was only a short distance away, the move required careful coordination around Seco Machine’s active production schedule. CEI Crane & Rigging worked with extreme flexibility, moving just one or two machines at a time, typically each week, to ensure production goals were met. Using a combination of forklifts and trucks, CEI relocated a variety of large machines, including Samsung and Herco models in the 25-ton range, as well as smaller 3-ton machines.

From dismantling and transportation to reassembly, CEI Crane & Rigging’s experienced millwright team managed every phase of the project. The full relocation was completed within three months without slowing Seco’s production, reinforcing a long-standing partnership built on trust, adaptability, and consistent execution.
