HISTORY

Decatur Industrial Electric Inc. is a family owned business incorporated in 1952 by Claud Thompson. After returning from World War II, Mr. Thompson, who had been an electrician on a battleship, decided to start an electrical contracting and motor repair business.

As the manufacturing industries grew after World War II, so did Decatur Industrial Electric. In 1975, Claud's son Philip Thompson became president of Decatur Industrial Electric, Inc. The company became the leader in electrical motor repair and supply in central Illinois.

In 1980, Decatur Industrial Electric began the expansion of their services by opening a motorshop branch in Mt. Vernon Illinois, Mt. Vernon Electric. In 1984, Mt. Vernon Electric expanded even further with the acquisition of an electrical wholesale business, also in Mt. Vernon.

In 2000, at the lead of Phil's son, Trent Thompson, Decatur Industrial Electric purchased Arthur Motor Works, an electrical repair shop in Bradley, Illinois. The business was renamed Kankakee Industrial Technology, also known as KITECH.

With locations in Decatur, Kankakee, and Mt. Vernon, Illinois, Decatur Industrial Electric Inc. is large enough to handle your most important equipment, yet small enough to take care of our customers with personal, professional service, no matter what size their needs are.

Decatur industrial Electric Inc. has over 50 years of satisfying our customers, and we will continue to work hard to meet and exceed your expectations for the next 50 years.
