As seconded Project Managers and Engineers, Mills Food & Dairy are accustomed to delivering projects of all scales, locally, nationally, and internationally. Our engineers become a part of your team, operate within your systems, and deliver to your expectations, under your brand.

We have significant strength in machinery / production line design, and can provide sound evaluation of third-party equipment through procurement and all phases of manufacture.

As a project provider, we specialise in small to medium scale materials handling projects, where the Project Manager is the primary design engineer, who leads the site phase from site. This approach keeps the costs of project execution to a minimum, and ensures that the project meets programme and quality expectations.

We have materials handling and process engineers, who can competently consider and design the best outcomes for any area of your operation.

We specialise in the evaluation of existing (or conceptual design) production lines, to identify areas for improvements to performance or efficiency.

We typically utilise simulation modelling software to demonstrate the equipment at its current performance levels, and then run scenarios including proposed upgrade projects, to accurately forecast efficiency or productivity gains that can be achieved. This approach allows projects to be sorted by efficiency gain per capital spend. Often when multiple projects are implemented at the same time, some of the potential gains of one upgrade item can diminish the gains of another, resulting in IRR not being achieved. Simulation modelling will project collective gains, and eliminate unnecessary or ineffective expenditure.

We have the ability and experience to deliver your project from concept to commissioning, whether it is a relocation, upgrade, or new factory build. Our engineers tailor the design to suit your needs, meet or exceed all relevant standards, and deliver world class results.
