MEI Industrial Solutions is on the cover of The CEO Magazine. In the featured article, CEO Doug Dayton shares how MEI is scaling to support our clients' growth and expanding into new markets across the country.
Since Dayton joined in November 2023, MEI has grown from close to 20 locations to 29, from roughly $325 million in revenue to a projected $1 billion this year, and to more than 2,500 employees.
That growth started with a strong foundation. When Dayton visited every MEI location in his first months, he found the same values and commitment at each one. The work was to build the infrastructure to scale it into a national footprint.
As our clients' needs grew, so did MEI, from rigging and crating to logistics, storage, millwrighting and more. When a national data center client needed support in Chicago, a market we didn't yet serve, our team had operations running in about 45 days. That's what being a trusted execution partner means: helping clients move and install critical equipment with less risk, less disruption and less to manage - wherever their work takes them.
Next, MEI aims to double again in the next three to five years, following demand in data centers, semiconductors and advanced manufacturing. Through it all, our people remain the foundation. At MEI, we're Built on Commitment.
Thank you to our employees, our clients and our partners at Olympus Partners and 26North.
