The Difference Is How We Work

Most industrial contractors manage projects. CR Meyer executes them. We bring our own skilled tradespeople to the job — millwrights, pipefitters, ironworkers, electricians, and more — so we control the work directly. That means less rework, fewer handoffs, better outcomes, and a team that stays accountable from start to finish.

Complex doesn't intimidate us. Active facilities, tight shutdowns, multi-trade coordination, high-stakes capital projects … this is the work we're built for.

Pulp & Paper

Installation of a New Coated Recycled Paperboard (CRB) Machine

A manufacturer needed more than a contractor to install a new coated recycled paperboard (CRB) machine. They needed a partner to build an entire 119-acre production campus from the ground up, and deliver it at scale.

Pulp & Paper

Building of a Greenfield Tissuemaking & Converting Campus

Our pulp and paper customer needed more than a construction crew to build their new greenfield tissuemaking and converting campus in Macon, Georgia. They needed a single partner who could deliver an entire production ecosystem — from raw site to fully operational facility — at a scale few contractors can manage.

Hydro/Power Generation
