International Industrial Contracting Corporation

What International Industrial Contracting Corporation does

International Industrial Contracting Corporation (IICC) is a family-owned, privately held industrial contractor founded in 1961 and headquartered in Sterling Heights, Michigan. The firm provides turn-key equipment installation, rigging, millwright, machinery and conveyor installation, maintenance and repair, in-house steel fabrication, and shutdown/turnaround services for heavy industrial facilities. IICC serves four primary verticals — automotive (assembly, powertrain, stamping, and battery tooling), industrial manufacturing, food and beverage processing, and transportation and baggage handling — with named customers including General Motors, Stellantis (formerly FCA), Honda Manufacturing, KUKA Systems North America, and General Mills.

The company's underlying technology platform is a large owned fleet of specialized heavy-lift and installation equipment — 165 forklifts, 62 Broderson cranes, 253 aerial lifts, 8 gantry systems, 14 die carts, 6 tractors, 16 trailers, plus precision alignment and leveling equipment — supported by 100,000+ square feet of heated warehousing, in-house engineering for engineered lift plans, certified welding, and full steel design and fabrication. The firm operates from four North American offices (Michigan, Tennessee, Mexico since 2006, Canada since 2024) and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification along with multiple SC&RA safety awards and the 2018 FCA Supplier of the Year designation.

IICC generates revenue through project-based professional services contracts, with pricing determined through a value-engineering and estimating process tailored to each engagement's scope, schedule, equipment specifications, and manpower loading. The company sells exclusively through direct enterprise field sales — no channel partners or resellers — targeting North American OEMs and industrial operators with multi-year, multi-program relationships. Revenue is reported by the company at approximately $400M annually (per the primary About page; a separate History page references $1B, likely outdated). The firm is led by CEO Douglas Jardine and operates as a third-generation family business.
