Modernize the plant you already have.

Stagehead is the engineering team your plant doesn't have on staff. We take the jobs that are:

  • Too small for big integrators
  • Too technical for your maintenance crew

Too small for an integrator. Too technical for maintenance.

Project size, CAD, log scale
Your maintenance teamUnder $10k

Keeps the plant running. Vision, robots and circuit boards aren't their job.

Stagehead$10k to $250k

Everything in between. One line or one station, fixed price, done in weeks.

Big integrators$250k and up

New lines and big projects. Your one-station fix waits in their queue.
