Don R. Fruchey, Inc. has diversified its industrial services to meet customer needs.  We can act as your single source supplier – your industrial contractor project partner. Equipment Installation Our customers get a partnership with a contractor who can install industrial equipment for any business from foundries to auto assembly to food processing.  Project Size Capabilities We have the resources and expertise to complete your projects both large and small.  For example, we were selected as the sole supplier of steel erection and equipment installation for a local new plant facility. Our $4.2 million part of this fast track project was completed in six months.   Equipment Handling Capabilities Industrial equipment comes in all shapes and sizes.  We have the skills and equipment to handle industrial equipment from the heaviest to the most delicate.   Precision Capabilities Customers often have complicated alignment and leveling requirements.  Our civil engineers and highly trained craftsmen utilize state-of-the-art tools to satisfy these needs. Equipment Relocation Capabilities Fruchey has relocated equipment across town and across the country, from one machine to a complete plant. Turnkey Capabilities We offer the ability to coordinate a complete installation project.  Only the finest, most dependable subcontractors are selected to assure that a project will be completed smoothly from start to finish.   Maintenance and Modification Capabilities  Fruchey provides full support to plant maintenance personnel.  Our people understand the importance of work schedules to minimize production interference.  We know the urgency of emergency production downtime situations and are prepared to respond accordingly. Steel Construction Our customers get a partnership with an industrial contractor who can help with their steel construction needs. We can design, fabricate and erect what you need for new building construction or for existing building renovations and modifications.  This includes structural steel erection, reinforcing existing building steel, and mezzanine erection. Custom Steel Fabrication Our customers get a partnership with a contractor who can react quickly to custom fabrication situations.  Our PWC Fabrication division meets the day-to-day needs of our job site crews.  PWC has become one of the leading custom steel and equipment fabricators in the area, working directly with customers when our installation services are not required.  Fruchey has also developed working relationships with other qualified fabricators to meet customer needs. Specialized Hauling Our customers get a partnership with a contractor who can haul their equipment as well as install it.  Since industrial equipment has become increasingly sophisticated and expensive, we have a transport team of dedicated drivers and a fleet of specialty tractors and trailers.  Our drivers work closely with our installation personnel in both the loading and unloading process for maximum labor efficiency.  In addition, we carry high levels of cargo insurance coverage.  Equipment Warehousing Our customers get a partnership with a contractor who can store new equipment until the time of its installation, or store used equipment until its disposition has been decided. Our facilities meet these needs.  We can assemble and modify equipment before shipping for final installation.  Crating for overseas shipments is also available.  We currently have facilities at our Old Maumee Road address and at Casad Industrial Park.
