A message from Doug Dayton, CEO, MEI Industrial Solutions

At MEI, our mission has always been clear: deliver excellence in industrial services, with precision, safety, and integrity at every step.

Over the years, we’ve grown. Not just in size or geography—but in the complexity of the work we take on, the industries we serve, and the value we deliver for our customers. Today, MEI operates out of 23 locations across 19 states, with capabilities that go far beyond our original focus on rigging and crating.

Which is why I’m excited to share that we’ve rebranded as MEI Industrial Solutions.

This change is more than a name. It reflects our evolution—and signals the scale and expertise we bring to every project.

Why Now?

In the industrial world, clarity matters. Our former name—MEI Rigging & Crating—no longer told the full story. It left too much unsaid about the depth of our capabilities, from millwrighting and mechanical installation to industrial storage, turnkey logistics, and machinery moving.

MEI Industrial Solutions better represents who we are today—and where we’re going. It ensures our customers, partners, and employees alike understand what we bring to the table.

What’s Not Changing

While the brand is new, the core of MEI remains exactly the same. Our people, our leadership, and our values are unchanged. We’re still focused on safety above all else. We’re still problem-solvers. And we’re still committed to delivering results—on time, on budget, and with the highest level of professionalism.

What This Means for You

This rebrand is designed to make it easier for our customers to do business with us—to see the full picture of what MEI can deliver.

Whether you’re overseeing a data center build, relocating critical infrastructure, or managing a high-stakes machinery move, you can count on MEI Industrial Solutions to bring the expertise, capacity, and precision to get it done right.

We’ve always believed that service should go beyond the transaction. It’s about partnership, trust, and shared success. That hasn’t changed—and it never will.

What Comes Next

As MEI Industrial Solutions, we’re building for the future. That means:

  • Investing in advanced equipment and digital tools
  • Expanding our geographic reach
  • Enhancing internal systems that drive speed, quality, and safety
  • Attracting and developing top talent across every discipline

We’re positioning MEI to lead—coast to coast, across sectors, and into the next generation of industrial service.

A Final Word

To our customers: thank you for your continued trust.
To our employees: thank you for bringing this brand to life every day.
To our partners: thank you for walking with us through this next chapter.

This rebrand reflects everything we’ve built—and everything we’re building next. We’re proud to lead with a name that matches our ambition.

Let’s keep moving forward—together.
