Over 40 Years of Quality Service

Inman Electric Co. was founded in 1967 by Sam Inman. Mr. Inman previously had twenty-five years of experience in the electric motor service industry serving as shop foreman of a mid-sized motor repair shop in Texas. In 1966 he purchased Monarch Electric Repair Company in Peru, Illinois. At the time of purchase, Monarch had two employees and leased a facility of 4,000 square feet.

Over the next few years, with hard work and quality service, the company experienced steady growth. In 1973, Sam’s son David joined the family business. A new service shop was constructed in LaSalle, Illinois in 1976 and the company’s name was changed to Inman Electric. Many building additions were added as Inman Electric continued to grow. Today the facility is more than 50,000 square feet on 3.5 acres of land. Inman Electric has one of the most modern service shops in the country. The capabilities include four 15 ton bridge cranes with 32 feet of lifting height, automated coil winding machines, vacuum pressure impregnation, three of the largest curing ovens manufactured, vibration analysis and dynamic balancing instrumentation, and a 4,800 volt 1,200 amp test panel. Customers include manufacturers and end users throughout Illinois and Iowa.

Inman Electric is a privately held company and has been managed by the Inman family for three generations. When Sam Inman passed away in 1997 he was succeeded by his son David. David’s son, Brian, joined the company in 2003 after obtaining an electrical engineering degree from Purdue University. Inman Electric has realized great success by providing personal service and quality work for over forty years. The two greatest assets of the company are the loyal employees and customers. The key personnel in management at Inman Electric have all been with the company from fifteen to thirty years. Many of the customers have been doing business with the company for as long as thirty-five years. Inman Electric is very proud of our excellent reputation and we look forward to serving our industry for generations to come.
