Who We Are:

If it turns, lifts, or moves your product, we’re the ones you call to keep your equipment, crews, and operations in motion.

We’re not just another industrial maintenance company. We’re a crew of millwrights, welders, and industrial electricians and mechanics who’ve worked in the field, on the floor, and with our hands long before CMS existed.

Since 2015, we’ve delivered trusted solutions in millwright services, industrial equipment repair, custom fabrication, mechanical maintenance, and electrical work across Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba—with projects completed across Western Canada.

Custom builds, installs, maintenance, or last-minute repairs—if it keeps your operation moving, we’re on it.

If it’s not working, we’ll figure out what will.

Relationships

With our team, our clients, and the communities we serve.

These aren’t just words - they’re the reason people can rely on our work, and come back for the service.

Why people choose Custom Millwright Services!

Ryan Knutson

Owner of Custom Millwright Services Ltd.

My journey began over eleven years ago when working for a company that provided maintenance and repair services for grain facilities all across western Canada. In 2015 I was presented with the opportunity to become a partner in this company; I bought in and from there, Custom Millwright Services Ltd. was born.

“One of the best aspects of being a locally owned and operated company is the friendships that are formed as we are given the opportunity to supply the service and support our communities need.”

In 2019 we expanded our client base more extensively across Western Canada. We are fortunate and blessed to have built strong relationships with our valued customers over the years and will continue to provide the exceptional service and quality work that they have come to expect for as long as we are given the opportunity.
