Bott Mechanical Company

What Bott Mechanical Company does

Bott Mechanical Company, Inc. is a privately held, women-owned industrial services firm founded in 2005 by Greg and Lisa Bott and headquartered in Wabash, Indiana. The company provides a comprehensive suite of on-site industrial services to manufacturing and industrial customers across seven U.S. states (California, Indiana, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, and Washington), including millwright services, custom fabrication and welding (MIG, TIG, stick on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum), HVAC installation and repair, electrical and industrial automation services (PLC programming, panel building, video surveillance, access control), predictive maintenance via infrared thermography, and full plant maintenance programs.

The company's core technology stack centers on conventional industrial equipment rather than software platforms, including a Fluke Ti55 Flexcam thermal imaging camera used in its Power Quality Division for predictive maintenance scans. Services are delivered by OSHA 16 and 30 certified tradesmen, journeyman electricians, and welders, with field crew sizes that scale from 2 to 200 workers per project and are available 24/7.

Bott Mechanical operates a professional services and project-based revenue model, generating revenue through maintenance contracts, fabrication jobs, equipment installations, and infrared scanning engagements. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales with direct relationships built largely through co-founder Greg Bott's 25 years of industry contacts. Customers include Steel Dynamics, BF Goodrich, Ardagh Group, Louis Dreyfus, Café Valley Bakery, Thermafiber, and Central States Enterprises, spanning steel, glass packaging, agriculture, tire production, bakery, and insulation sectors. The company differentiates primarily through its safety record (300,000+ man hours with zero accidents), WBE certification, multi-state registration footprint, and turnkey capability spanning building erection through ongoing plant operations.

Direct peers

• Faith Technologies: National electrical and specialty systems contractor with a strong industrial customer base, including electrical construction, automation, and instrumentation services. Comparable to Bott in delivering electrical, controls, and instrumentation services to industrial customers, particularly in Midwest manufacturing, though at larger scale.
• Limbach Holdings: Specialty mechanical contractor providing HVAC, plumbing, and building services to commercial and industrial customers. Closely comparable to Bott in service mix (mechanical, HVAC, fabrication, controls) and customer type, though Limbach is significantly larger, publicly traded, and more concentrated in commercial/institutional rather than heavy industrial work.
• IES Holdings: Provider of electrical and mechanical infrastructure services to industrial, commercial, and residential customers. Comparable to Bott in delivering electrical, mechanical, and fabrication services to industrial customers, particularly through its Communications and Industrial Solutions segments, though IES is significantly larger and more diversified.
• Shambaugh & Son: Indiana-based mechanical contractor providing HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and process piping services, now an EMCOR subsidiary. Closely comparable to Bott given shared Midwest base and overlapping industrial mechanical contractor service lines, though substantially larger and integrated with EMCOR's national platform.
• Gaylor Electric: Indianapolis-based national electrical contractor serving commercial, industrial, and institutional customers with design-build, installation, and maintenance services. Comparable to Bott in electrical contracting focus and shared Midwest industrial customer base, though broader in scope and significantly larger.
• Comfort Systems USA: National provider of HVAC, mechanical, and plumbing services for industrial and commercial facilities. Comparable to Bott in core mechanical/HVAC offerings and industrial customer orientation, but operates across substantially more geographies with much greater headcount and resources.

Broad incumbents

• APi Group: Diversified provider of safety, specialty, and industrial services including mechanical contracting and facility services. Comparable to Bott as both serve industrial customers with multi-trade services, though APi operates globally with much broader service lines (life safety, specialty industrial services) and a much larger acquisition-driven footprint.
• EMCOR Group: Largest publicly traded mechanical and electrical construction and facilities services firm in the US, serving industrial and commercial customers with multi-trade service contracts. Comparable to Bott as both deliver integrated millwright, HVAC, electrical, and fabrication services to industrial customers, but EMCOR operates at vastly greater scale, geographic breadth, and customer concentration.
