A Plus Electric Motor Repair, Inc. repairs, rewinds and replaces industrial electric motors for steel, refining and manufacturing plants in East Chicago, Indiana. East Chicago sits on Indiana Harbor among some of the region’s largest steel and refining operations, and we serve plants throughout the area.
