This is a rare opportunity to acquire an established industrial electric motor and pump repair business in the Louisville metro market, combined with a licensed electrical contracting and automation division. Customers include quarries, cement plants, food processors, municipal water systems and manufacturers.
Revenue for the twelve months ended August 31, 2026 was approximately $3.08 million with Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) of ~$538,000, a ~17.5% margin. Revenue grew ~18% over the prior twelve months, the highest in company history.
A credentialed bench of fourteen runs the operation, including three licensed electricians, an automation engineer and winders who complete rewinds start to finish. The business grew through a period in which one of the two owners was fully absent.
Roughly 80% of work arrives from existing customers calling in at a ~90% quote win rate, across fifty-two accounts invoiced in the last twelve months. Top relationships run seven to sixteen years.
This is a credentialed, non-discretionary industrial services business with two revenue engines and the real estate available in addition.

- Approximately 16,000 square feet of purpose-equipped industrial space across four connected units, with 800 amp 480 volt three phase service, overhead cranes to four tons, a 12,000 lb vehicle lift, a climate controlled winding room, two burn-off ovens with ventilation stacks, varnish and dip tanks, and a complete machine shop.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- Machinery maintenance and heavy equipment repair is a $60.7 billion U.S. industry spread across roughly 56,400 establishments averaging five employees each, with low market share concentration and no dominant national player (IBISWorld, NAICS 81131, May 2026). Demand is non-discretionary: when a crusher motor or a process pump fails, the plant stops, and operators increasingly outsource maintenance rather than staff it internally. Industry revenue is forecast to grow 1.8% per year through 2031, and repair of industrial machinery is the largest segment at $33.6 billion. This business competes in a narrow subset of that field. Very few regional shops pair a full motor and pump rewind capability with a licensed electrical contracting arm, an automation and controls group, the site-access certification required for quarry, aggregate and mining work, and arc flash trained crews.
- Opportunities for Growth
- 1. Hire an Operations Manager to Free Up Sales and Business Development Time
2. Expand Presence in Quarries and Aggregate Mines
3. Expand Industrial Sales Through Targeted Business Development
4. Develop Preventative Maintenance and Reliability Programs
5. Expand Automation and System Integration Services
6. Position the Company as a Modern Industrial Solutions Provider
7. Expand Electrical Contracting Services
8. Become a Specialized Rewind Provider for Other Repair Shops
9. Expand Into Medium Voltage Motor Repair
The long-term goal is to transform the business from a traditional repair focused company into a diversified industrial services organization with multiple revenue streams . Through investments in leadership, Automation, electrical contracting, reliability services, medium voltage expertise, and market development, the company can significantly increase revenue, profitability while becoming the preferred partner throughout Kentucky and Southern Indiana.
