Electric Motor Repair & Rewind

What Electric Motor Repair & Rewind does

Electric Motor Repair & Rewind, Inc. (EMR) is a privately held industrial equipment repair provider founded in 1986 by Sylvin (Chig) Crecelius and his daughter Candace Crecelius in Jeffersonville, Indiana, with Frank Hardin joining the team in 1991. The company delivers diagnostics, repair, rewinding, and testing services for AC and DC electric motors up to 500 HP, as well as centrifugal, deep-well vertical and multi-stage pumps, industrial gearboxes, and commercial/industrial generators, complemented by new-equipment and parts sales (motors, VFDs, blowers, capacitors, fuses, transformers, starters). Technical capability rests on conventional industrial instrumentation — oscilloscopes for stator single-phasing and ground-fault detection, precision bearing-fit measurement, dynamic balancing to NEMA standards, and vibration analysis — together with Class H insulation rewinding processes.

Operating from a single shop at 1502 Research Drive (relocated May 2015) with 24/7 on-site emergency field service, EMR serves municipalities, chemical plants, building engineering systems, production facilities, and backup-power operators primarily within the Louisville/Jeffersonville metropolitan area. The go-to-market is sales-led and quote-based, with direct phone, email, and in-person engagement; the website provides service information and a free-quote contact funnel. Revenue streams blend professional-service labor (motor/pump/gearbox/generator repair, commissioning, vibration analysis, alignment) with hardware distribution of new motors, VFDs, and electrical parts, including 24-hour sourcing for hard-to-find units. The company is independent, with no disclosed external investment, parent, or acquisition activity.

Broad incumbents

• ABB: Global leader in electrification and motion with extensive motor and generator manufacturing plus service workshops. Comparable because ABB operates motor/generator service and field-service operations that overlap directly with EMR's repair and commissioning offerings.
• Motion Industries: Large US industrial MRO distributor and service provider (which acquired Kaman Industrial Technologies). Comparable because it combines motor/pump repair services with parts distribution across broad geographies — illustrating both a scaled version of EMR's model and a potential competitive threat via its authorized service network.
• Kaman Industrial Technologies: Industrial MRO distributor and service provider (now integrated into Motion Industries). Comparable because it offers motor repair, fluid-power, and bearing services alongside parts distribution, mirroring EMR's service-plus-parts model at national scale.
• Siemens: Global industrial conglomerate with major motor, drive, and digital-industrial-services operations. Comparable through its large motor manufacturing base and aftermarket service network that addresses the same rotating-equipment reliability needs as EMR.
• WEG Electric: Global manufacturer of industrial electric motors, drives, and generators with a substantial aftermarket and authorized service network. Comparable because WEG both sells new motors/drives (similar to EMR's equipment-sales stream) and runs certified motor service operations competing for industrial repair work.
• Nidec Motor Corporation: Major global electric motor manufacturer (including commercial, industrial, and appliance lines) with an authorized service-partner network. Comparable because it competes for the same industrial motor service work and offers new motor sales, directly mirroring EMR's service-plus-equipment mix.
• TECO-Westinghouse Motor Company: Large US-based manufacturer of AC motors and drives with motor service and repair capabilities. Comparable because it combines new motor manufacturing with motor repair services for industrial customers in similar verticals to EMR's municipalities, chemical, and production segments.

Direct peers

• Regional Independent Motor Repair Shops: Small independent industrial motor, pump, and gearbox repair shops across the US serving regional industrial customers. This category represents EMR's most direct competitive set — comparable local repair shops offering break-fix and rewinding services for industrial customers in their respective metros.
