Allow us toIntroduce Ourselves...

Although we’ve been around for 160 years, Troy Industrial Solutions (TIS) is fairly new to the Brewer area, acquiring Lane Conveyors and Drivers in 2015. Specializing in custom metal fabrication, bulk material handling, sales, and service, TIS has evolved into a comprehensive, multifaceted, premiere maintenance support company throughout the Northeast. With headquarters in Watervliet, NY and operational services in New Hampshire and Connecticut, there was a vision to expand and grow the business in Maine. By retaining skilled, committed, local employees with years of experience, TIS has evolved into servicing the needs of Maine industries including fishing, agriculture/ farming, higher education, paper/pulp, lumber/wood, outdoor recreation, and manufacturing companies.

Simply said, TIS fixes, repairs, replaces, or makes custom designed metal fabricated products for clients that help solve their problems. Examples of our work include creating a custom frame to protect a large plastic 3D printer/injection projector for the post graduate engineering program at University of Maine, manufacturing custom panels for electrical boxes and modifying steel power poles, 24-60 feet in length for Versant Power and most recently, the fabrication of steel stairs, platforms, and support frames for Cianbro Construction Company.

TIS recently received AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) certification for Building Fabricator and Complex Coating Endorsement, making our facility one of seven in Maine to have these quality management systems certifications. In addition, TIS was recently awarded a $260,000 federal grant that is being used to

purchase a new high-tech plasma table providing premium cutting performance and improving the quality of our products to keep us competitive in the marketplace. TIS is also using some of the grant money received to hire additional employees in Brewer to support the investment made in the new equipment, including a CNC operator, fabricator, and welder.

We help to keep industry running, that’s our primary objective, but not our only one. No metal fabrication project is too big or too small for TIS, so we provide a service to small businesses and individuals with our mini-fabrication processes. Many times, customers will come to us with a sketch or a drawing of an idea on a napkin or piece of paper that they would like fabricated, and more times than not, we are able to produce what they ask for. Steel sales are also a big part of our services and has helped us to become known in and around the Brewer area.

And, when we aren’t busy producing massive-sized metal fabrications to keep industry running or creating custom firepits for neighbors, we try to give back to the community that has been so welcoming to us. For the past two years, TIS employees have participated in Brewer’s Free the Z’s Annual Turkey Drive, helping to collect turkeys to distribute to local residents. And this year, TIS employees elected to participate in The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program, providing clothing and Christmas gifts specifically for teenagers in and around the Bangor/Brewer area.

Thank you for making us a part of the Maine community. Stop in and say hello, we are located at 15 Industrial Plaza Drive in Brewer. We look forward to meeting you, if we haven’t already.
