General Info

Decatur Industrial Electric is a family-owned business incorporated in 1952 by Claud Thompson. After returning from World War II, the former battleship electrician decided to start an electrical contracting and motor repair business. As the manufacturing industries grew, so did Decatur Industrial Electric. In 1975, Claud's son Philip Thompson became president and the company became the leader in electrical motor repair and supply in central Illinois. With locations in Decatur, Kankakee and Mt. Vernon, Ill., Decatur Industrial Electric is large enough to handle your most important equipment, yet small enough to take care of customers with personal, professional service, no matter what size their needs are.
