Maintain · Preventive Maintenance & Breakdown Support for Food Plants
Downtime Is a Tax. Stop Paying It.
Unplanned downtime is usually a plant's biggest invisible cost. We build preventive maintenance programs your team can actually own — and when something is already down, we answer the phone.

What you get
1. Outcomes
Failures caught before they stop you
A PM program built from your actual failure history and criticality — not a generic checklist copied from a manual.
Root cause, not parts roulette
When we do corrective work, we find why it broke — so the same failure doesn't take a second vacation on your dime.
Your team runs it, not us
Schedules, procedures, spares strategy, and training. The goal is self-sufficiency — the program outlives the engagement.
How it works
2. The Process
Step 1
Assess what can hurt you
Critical asset inventory: what stops production, what it costs when it does, and which spares you can't wait eight weeks for.
Step 2
Build the program
PM schedules and procedures sized to your crew, plus a spares strategy matched to real lead times — not a wish list.
Step 3
Run it together
We co-run the first cycles while your team ramps, and take the emergency calls in between.
Step 4
Improve on data
Downtime history feeds the program. Every quarter it gets smarter and cheaper, and the review is on the calendar.
Proof
3. Recent Work
Recent: a cartoner maintenance program for a Colorado confectionery manufacturer, now in its third annual revision — which is the point. Programs that get revised are programs someone is actually running.

Straight answers
4. Questions We Hear
Do you take emergency calls?
Yes, for lines we know. Corrective work on active lines goes to existing clients first. New relationships start with a conversation and an assessment, so we know your equipment before it breaks.
How is it priced?
Time and materials, or a monthly retainer. Most work runs from a $3K service call to a $30K program.
Will we depend on you forever?
No. You get schedules, procedures, a spares strategy, and training. The goal is that your team runs the program without us.
We're a small plant with one maintenance tech. Is a PM program realistic?
Yes, if it's built for the crew you have. We start from your last twelve months of downtime, sort the equipment by what actually stops the line, and write a schedule your tech can run in about an hour a week. Eight tasks on the critical machines will still be running next year. Forty will be abandoned by month two.
What's actually in the program?
A critical-equipment list, a spares list matched to real lead times, weekly and monthly tasks that fit on one line each, one-page procedures, and training. Plus a quarterly review on the calendar, so the program gets revised instead of dying in a binder.
Do you work outside Colorado?
Yes. We're based in Arvada, in the Denver metro, and build nationwide. Recent work spans Texas, Nebraska, Florida, California, and Illinois, plus a federal production contract shipped from our shop.
