Midland Electrical

What Midland Electrical does

Midland Electrical Winding and Contracting (Scotland) Ltd, founded in 1984, is a privately held industrial electrical and mechanical engineering services company headquartered in Grangemouth, Scotland. The firm operates as a B2B industrial services provider specialising in the repair, rewinding, refurbishment, and overhaul of electric motors and related rotating equipment for industrial and commercial clients, with a stated nationwide UK client base and worldwide dispatch capability for equipment. Its customer segments span manufacturing, petrochemical, processing, marine, and hazardous-area operators, with the Grangemouth location providing proximity to one of Britain's largest petrochemical manufacturing clusters and underpinning 24-hour, 365-day response availability.

The technology base is a single in-house industrial electrical equipment repair workshop equipped with modern machinery, fabrication, and welding facilities, supported by detailed diagnostic and maintenance record-keeping. Service capabilities span the full lifecycle of rotating and static electrical equipment: rewinding of low/medium/high voltage motors to OEM specifications, control panel design and build, transformer and HV switchgear diagnostics (including oil sample analysis and injection testing), gearbox repair with vibration analysis, AEMT-approved hazardous area repairs for cryogenic and liquefied gas pumps, and marine in-situ repairs covering switchboards, alternators, and power distribution. Condition monitoring capabilities include vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis, and Baker testing. The product portfolio combines new and reconditioned electric motors (LV/MV/HV), servo motors, traction motors, gearboxes, transformers, and HV switchgear sourced from leading manufacturers and sold alongside the service offering.

Midland Electrical generates revenue through three streams: one-time equipment sales (new and reconditioned motors, transformers, switchgear, gearboxes), professional services (repair, rewinding, refurbishment, condition monitoring, and maintenance contracts), and bespoke control panel design, manufacture, programming and installation. The go-to-market is direct-to-customer via phone, email, the firm's website enquiry form, and 24/7 dispatch, with no disclosed public pricing, channel partner programme, or digital marketplace presence. The company holds AEMT hazardous-area approval, self-attests GDPR compliance, and is managed by Alan Stewart (Managing Director) and Greig Paterson (Works Manager).
