Our Impact in Action

"I can't say enough about how well everything came together for this project. It's always a bit nerve wracking to turn some control away from your business and let others do things for you. Having all of you share your expertise in the various roles needed."
Thomas "Van" Creasap
Owner of Shamrock Vineyards
"This project with MEP has been such a success. It has been quite a pleasure working with the MEP at CSCC team. We are all looking forward to the installation of the new tube laser."
Nancy Denute
Owner, Action Group Inc.
"The MEP robot loaner program was a game changer for us. It allowed us to try the technology without risk and without the upfront investment. The support of the MEP engineers made this an easy process to undertake and one that will have a lasting impact our AMG Industries."
Jes Salmons
Director of Engineering, AMG Industries
