IMI Industrial, LLC

Although IMI Industrial was founded on providing millwright services, we have grown to encompass a full-circle approach to the manufacturing industry. We have a fully-staffed team of certified engineers, metal fabricators, and millwrights, so our company is unique in the sense that we can engineer assemblies, components, or machinery, build and assemble them in our shop, and install them in the the field for the client. IMI is there for you from the idea to the finished product. IMI Industrial was established in 1986 by Tony Stein as Industrial Maintenance, Inc. in Lawrence, Kansas and employed five millwrights. Eventually, the business moved from Lawrence to Perry, Kansas. In 2012, Todd Harrington acquired IMI from Tony, and began to focus on the pet food industry, UPS service work, and sought out more lucrative opportunities to help expand the company to an even larger degree. As a result of the mutually beneficial relationship between IMI and UPS, work with UPS expanded to out-of-state jobs, component manufacturing, and full facility fabrication and installation. ​In 2017, Industrial Maintenance, Inc. made the move from Perry to a larger Topeka, Kansas location. With an ambitious and forward-thinking mindset, and a team of excellent people who work tirelessly every day to do whatever it takes to get the job done, IMI has grown 1900% since 2009 and employs well over 80 people. We will continue to aggressively pursue relationships with potential customers and maintain excellent rapport with our current clients by continuing to produce quality craftsmanship, on-time delivery, and the expansion of our capabilities as not only a millwright and fabrication shop, but an eventual job shop division that will focus on the full fabrication of large and complex components. We cherish the relationship that we have with our clients, vendors, and fellow employees, and are committed to nurturing a workplace that is conducive to achieving the best results possible.
