We are the Auto Industry’s Go-To Millwrights

The automotive industry is not for the faint of heart...

When vehicles convey down assembly lines, welds and rigging better withstand the pressure and stress of the vibration and movement of that massive weight.

From stamping and body assembly to the engine line, painting, and interiors—even the slightest discourse in precision sets and level alignments can mean millions in lost productivity.

And outages? Time is money, but so is safety. Accurate, efficient outages are the key to getting a plant up and running—but if done improperly, the impact can be catastrophic. Now is not the time to gamble on your plant’s millwright workforce.

Millwrights from the Southeastern Carpenters Regional Council are the go-to professionals for machinery setting, rigging, welding, alignments, outages, and more at auto plants in the South. Our advantage is simple: We embrace new ways to keep pace with the evolving automotive industry. We do that by training specifically in automotive plant proficiency, making us expertly qualified in everything from outages and maintenance to mechatronics.

When quality, timeliness and safety are the deliverables, we are called upon to leverage our experience and success with sophisticated precision levels and layout tools to set this equipment—sometimes adjusting to the width of a human hair—so that one station works in harmony with the next.
