Industrial Equipment Installation FAQs

AK Industrial Contractors does. We are an industrial equipment installation contractor based in Searcy, Arkansas, with an operation in Monterrey, Mexico. Our own crews handle receiving, offloading, rigging, millwright assembly, alignment, anchoring and startup support, and we coordinate utility tie-ins with the licensed trades, so you are not managing a rigging vendor and a millwright vendor separately.

It means the rigging, millwright and installation labor on your site is AK employees, trained to our standards and working under our safety program, with one project manager accountable for AK's scope. Specialty trades such as electrical and controls are coordinated through defined handoffs rather than blurred into our scope.

Yes. AK Industrial has a Monterrey, Mexico operation and installs equipment on both sides of the border under the same project leadership and safety program.
