Mid-State Industrial Maintenance is celebrating 50 years in business in 2023. Mid-State was founded in 1973, primarily as a welding and machine shop and has now grown to a company that boasts a work force of 1,000 plus, serving the industrial maintenance needs of over 500 customers located across much of North America. “I never had a vision of a 50-year legacy company but, as it turns out because of the hard work and dedication of so many good people that have contributed to our history, Mid-State Industrial has been able to develop into a company with an outstanding past present and future” said Hal Kersey, founder of Mid-State. According to Mid-State, they have always had the vision of creating an outsourced equipment maintenance company with an emphasis on customer satisfaction. Former COO, John Hooten, “We saw that growth and longevity would come from field work. The biggest accomplishment we achieved early on was the transitioning from a fundamental shop business to a field business focused on meeting the needs of our customers in the field” said John Hooten, former COO of Mid-State. Mid-State Industrial expanded its operation recently to include a family of companies such as, SMS Industrial Services (2020), Mine Equipment & Design (2020), ELMCO Industrial Services (2021) and Precision Electric (2022). “I see our future as unlimited. Our customer base, our reach, our expertise, and our reputation are all growing more than we could have ever imagined” said Jeff Clyne, former CEO. “I like creating jobs for people. I want to build a legacy for this business where we add additional, professional folks around the country as we continue to migrate into all fifty states” said Shawn Toney, Mid-State CEO.
