Story

Putting Together a Giant Puzzle: The project team was challenged with assembling and suspending an immense weight of specialized beef processing equipment. West Michigan Beef imported a piece of one-of-a-kind beef equipment from the Netherlands. Borrowing the concept they implemented for another local food producer, the team custom-built the equipment support system from secondary steel.
