What Cherokee Millwright does
Cherokee Millwright, Inc. is a Tennessee-based, full-service industrial millwright contractor that installs, sets, aligns, levels, dismantles, refurbishes, reassembles, and relocates machinery and equipment for manufacturing facilities. Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Maryville, Tennessee with regional offices in Morristown and Cleveland, the company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME). Its seven core service lines — Millwright Services, Fabrication, Process Piping, Industrial HVAC, Concrete Construction, Plant Maintenance, and Plant Relocation — are delivered by NCCCO-certified rigging professionals, skilled welders, and multi-trade craftsmen.
The technical foundation rests on a 34,000-square-foot fabrication facility equipped with coil line, spiral duct equipment, dual- and single-table CNC plasma cutters rated for mild steel up to 3/4 inch, a 95-ton x 12-ft press brake, 10-ft shearing capacity, and plate rolling capacity up to 6 ft x 3/16 inch. Field operations are supported by self-propelled crawler systems rated up to 120,000 lbs, heavy-haul trailers capable of transporting oversized loads up to 150,000 lbs, an advanced forklift fleet with 5,000- to 80,000-lb lift capacity with remote control, and precision laser and optical alignment technology used to extend bearing, seal, and overall equipment life.
Cherokee Millwright generates revenue through project-based contracts and long-term maintenance agreements with enterprise industrial customers across the Southeast U.S., spanning automotive (Tier One and Two plants), industrial pipe support (e.g., Lisega), chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, healthcare, and consumer goods manufacturing. The company sells primarily through a direct enterprise field-sales motion and project-inquiry contact forms, with marketing augmented by social channels and the broader EMCOR Group digital infrastructure. Pricing is custom-quoted per project scope and is not publicly disclosed.
