The Challenge
Mitchell Mill Systems Canada Ltd. designs and manufactures material handling equipment used in grain, livestock feed, pet food, fish food, fertilizer, seed cleaning, and other industrial processes.

The company chose SolidWorks software because of its ease of use, sheet-metal design features, and large assembly capabilities. The manufacturer also valued the software’s design configurations, interference detection, and advanced visualization functionality. By deploying SolidWorks, Mitchell Mill Systems cut equipment assembly time, reduced development costs, enhanced innovation through better visualization, and improved customer communications.
