The Industrial Service Group
As facilities continue to age, outsourcing of critical-to-process equipment service is expanding. By targeting specialty service companies, we will build an organization focused on repair, replacement, maintenance and emergency services. The Industrial Service Group is targeting specific companies to build an exceptionally positioned specialty repair, replacement, and distribution company...while maintaining your local service and culture. Customers want their service providers to respond locally and quickly. They also want the stability of the company name and culture that has supported them for years. That's why we are different. Our partnership retains the people, the culture, and the local service to ensure customers continue to receive the service they expect. Our primary objective is partner with well-managed, profitable & growth oriented businesses. We believe that good companies are the result of strong management, an exceptional employee group, and time-tested local relationships. Our philosophy is to support businesses on a standalone, decentralized basis, affording a significant level of responsibility, authority, and autonomy. It is not our intention to change the culture of an acquired company, but rather allow current management to continue doing what they do best: manage a successful business. This is, in our opinion, the way to deliver optimal service to our customers, maintain strong relationships with the supplier base and to build value over time.
