No two industrial contracting projects are exactly alike. At Maddox, we have to be on the ball to tackle all kinds of challenges and unusual situations everyday. Finding the best solution is part of the reward. During the next month or so, we’ll be working on a variety of jobs.

Alcoa CSI: As a new customer for Maddox, Closure Systems International is finding out how diverse we can be. Indianapolis-based CSI produces more than 70 billion closures worldwide annually, designs and builds capping equipment and provides related technical services. In June, we removed and replaced a chiller system at its Crawfordsville plant. In August, we will be providing and installing a mezzanine for an electrical transformer installation.

Zimmer Custom-Made Packaging: Zimmer is a long-time leader in the flexible-packaging market with a focus in the areas of frozen novelty, butter/margarine, candy and confectionary. But its way of loading spools of paper onto its process machines wasn’t leading the pack. The machines used inefficient screw lifts to lift the rolls in position. The screw lifts wore out very quickly and were expensive to get parts for, so Zimmer approached Maddox on a design to successfully load the paper without any wear and tear on its machines. Maddox provided the design and will install two different lift tables to replace the old process.

Firestone Building Products: Providing millwright and pipe fitting help, Maddox is currently installing the machines and piping required for a new blending process at Firestone Building Products’ Beech Grove facility.
