Planned plant shutdowns and turnarounds are high-risk, high-impact events in industrial operations. They represent the only opportunity to complete critical maintenance, upgrades, and repairs that cannot be performed while production is running. When shutdowns are poorly planned or improperly executed, the result is extended downtime, delayed restarts, safety incidents, and significant financial loss.
C2 Millwright and Machining Inc. provides professional plant shutdown and turnaround support services across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and all of Ontario, helping facilities execute complex shutdown scopes safely, efficiently, and on schedule.
Based in Brampton, Ontario, and operated by licensed millwrights with over 20 years of hands-on industrial experience, C2 supports planned outages, annual shutdowns, and major turnarounds for manufacturers and logistics leaders including Mondelez, Nestlé, General Mills, UPS, and FedEx. We integrate seamlessly with plant teams, contractors, and project managers to deliver disciplined execution under compressed timelines.

We perform conveyor repairs, replacements, realignments, modifications, and upgrades during shutdowns to reduce future breakdowns and improve throughput.
With in-house CWB-certified welding, fabrication, and machining, C2 completes structural repairs, reinforcements, and modifications during shutdowns without relying on third-party contractors.

Shelby OpdyckeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of working with C2 Millwright for their fabrication welding services, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team was incredibly professional, efficient, and clearly highly skilled in their craft. They designed and build Custome racks for my horse trailer. From start to finish, the process was smooth, and the quality of the final product exceeded my expectations. Their attention to detail and commitment to delivering top-notch work truly stood out. I highly recommend C2 Millwright to anyone looking for reliable and expert fabrication welding services – they definitely deserve 5 stars!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 1 reviews
