Their partnership also enables the expansion of our Metro Detroit Service Center operations into a larger, state-of-the-art facility. Together, we provide unmatched AC and DC motor knowledge and service capabilities across a wide range of industries, including power generation, metals, mining, chemical processing, paper, wastewater, OEM manufacturing, and more.
