For over six decades, Demco has been a trusted partner in electric motor repair and industrial apparatus restoration, backed by deep mechanical expertise and family-rooted dedication. Founded in 1958 and now led by its third generation, its enduring success is anchored in craftsmanship, integrity and continuous innovation. Every repair is handled in-house by a tight-knit team with over 300 years of combined experience, delivering solutions that exceed customer expectations.
Demco’s full-service capabilities span electric motors, pumps, generators, gearboxes and VFDs. Every project is executed with meticulous care and personal accountability, from reconditioning and complete overhauls to rotor balancing and shaft repairs. This hands-on approach continues to fuel its reputation across a 400- mile radius and beyond.
“We stand as a proven resource devoted to keeping client operations running flawlessly, today and for generations to come,” says Spencer Brown, president.
Delivering Long-Lasting Service and Quality
Differentiating Demco from others in the market is its relentless pursuit to advance repair capabilities and push technical boundaries. Rather than racing against the clock, it prioritizes the quality of every repair, operating as a well-oiled machine known for long-lasting results. To support this focus on longevity, Demco conducts R&D on various materials in its machine shop, enabling each repair to achieve a life cycle that surpasses typical warranty periods.
Demco offers comprehensive capabilities across all major rotating equipment systems. Its fully equipped machine shop expertly fabricates shafts and obsolete OEM parts, ensuring even the most unique components are restored to original specifications. The dedicated rewind team of specialists is capable of handling AC/DC motors up to 3,000 HP at 6600VAC, using procedures that work in parallel with Electrical Apparatus Service Association standards.
Each repair begins with a deep understanding of client needs and a careful investigation into the root cause of failure. Technicians ask the right, leading questions, examine the full picture to deliver tailored, long-lasting solutions.
Demco ensures every rotating equipment is flawlessly balanced to the exacting G1 tolerance. Whether an electric motor, pump or generator over 50 HP or a component that’s undergone machining, the team mandates precision balancing to eliminate vibration and maximize reliability. It repairs almost all brands and types of pumps, including centrifugal, submersible, split case and diaphragm models. Specialists also handle large-scale fans up to 10 ft. in diameter, including industrial dryer fans. Demco’s upgraded computerized dynamic balancing underpins its capabilities, allowing it to balance client equipment more efficiently— up to 10,000 lbs.
In one instance, the team rebuilt an obsolete three-stage vertical turbine pump from the 1970s measuring over 32 feet in length by manufacturing new shafts, couplings, bearings, stuffing boxes, lantern rings and packing glands. It also partnered with a 3D-printing shop to remanufacture the damaged impellers. The outcome was a seamless restoration that returned the vintage workhorse to peak performance, saving the customer from having to invest in a completely new pump and motor.
Demco also took a standard 150 HP 444T 1800 RPM motor, rewound it to 75/37.5 HP at 1785/888 RPM, and replaced the shaft for an OEM application. This reduced the OEM’s estimated 18–22-week lead time to just two weeks. These real-world examples reflect not just Demco’s technical versatility but also its value in helping clients extend asset life and reduce capital spend.
Demco is embarking on a 9,000 sq. ft. facility expansion. The facility is slated to elevate lifting and crane capacities, ceiling height, and shop square footage by over 50 percent. This makes way for more advanced motor repair capabilities and accommodates a greater volume of work. As Demco prepares for the future, it remains laser-focused on the same promise that has earned it industry-wide respect: delivering precision-driven, in-house repairs that help clients keep moving, generation after generation.
