Plant shutdowns are one of the most critical times in the operation of any plant, as they can affect the plant’s financial future in either a positive or negative way. A poorly planned shutdown can exceed its deadline, or go past its budget which can negatively impact the plant’s bottom line. Loctite, through SB Simpson, can help with tips and an executed shutdown maintenance plan that will positively affect your plant and have it running within capacity for years.
In this blog, we will explore how Loctite and SB Simpson can help you prepare for maintenance during a plant shutdown by taking a proactive approach and ensuring the right Loctite products are available when and where they are required.

Plan Ahead 
Being proactive about plant maintenance can help you stay ahead of shutdowns and take away many of the headaches. By scheduling a plant survey (virtually or in-person) with Loctite through SB Simpson (email us now for more info) it will help to identify areas in the plant that need repairs. They will do a full survey of your facility, provide support for your team, and identify areas for maintenance improvement and cost savings.
