Customer Request

F.X. Matt Brewing Company is the fourth oldest, family-owned brewery in the U.S., based in Utica, New York. Traditionally known for their award-winning Saranac lagers, craft beers and sodas, the Brewery’s portfolio has expanded in recent years to accommodate contract accounts for craft beer and hard seltzer brands across the country. With new contracts and increasing demand for their own product lines, F.X. Matt Brewing Company required additional lines to increase their output. That’s when Boulter was brought in.

Solution

We were brought in to provide rigging and millwright services for the production line rebuilds and retrofitting necessary to accommodate F.X. Matt Brewing Company's expansion plans. Our team of experienced professionals worked closely with their maintenance team to ensure that the retrofitting process went smoothly and efficiently.

To increase output, we installed additional production lines, modified existing ones, and provided ongoing maintenance support to ensure the Brewery's operations continued running smoothly. Our rigging and millwright services were critical to the success of this project, as we ensured that all equipment was installed and aligned correctly to maximize efficiency and minimize downtime.
