Why MPA?
We work in all environments and industries and we draw our unique strength from this. We do not isolate in one industries’ way of thinking and bring experience from many industries to solve nagging problems. We are equally capable of working to tear a machine down in the field to repair a failed gear box as we are sitting behind a desk programming a new PLC for a production line or adding a sensor to a process or building a new line. We also mentor maintenance and controls techs to teach troubleshooting in the computer age.
Our focus on the operator, user, and maintenance technicians help to ensure our clients are self-sustaining after we have completed our work. We earn our follow-on work because our clients appreciate the work we do.
Our team of professionals extends into all industries and control platforms. We add real value to every situation we encounter. We are a lean organization and do not have bloated overhead costs and large administrative staffs. We focus on serving our clients and adding value. With Muddy Paws, we dig in with you and solve your challenges. When the challenges arise, we will ask “How can we help?” instead of “Where is our PO?”

Testimonials
“It kind of gives us a little bit of better understanding on what’s going on and why we’re doing something in certain ways. So I definitely appreciate that.”
“I like that you’re starting the proper way where you’re talking to the people rather than giving us a product. And then trying to get us to, yeah, dig into it.”
“I really like your guys’ approach with trying to spend face time with the operators and get as much exposure with the operators, just kind of refreshing in comparison to, I mean, especially with 365 and all that, it’s kind of the opposite direction. So it’s been kind of refreshing, you guys’ approach to it. And then also, I like that you’re educating us on some of these aspects.”
“We have been through this effort several times and you are the first ones to engage us as operations, the ones that have to live with and make the system work. We appreciate this very much
