Mid Illinois Mechanical was founded in 1990 by Doug Dodson, a well-respected fixture in the Central Illinois trades. Doug’s goal was to fill the gaps he saw in the industry with quality work and reliable service. What began as a three-person shop has steadily grown over the last 30 years. During that time, Mid Illinois Mechanical has expanded its team, capabilities, and breadth of operation to become a leader in the industry. Mid Illinois Mechanical features three divisions: maintenance & service, design/build, and process piping fabrication.
Today, Mid Illinois Mechanical is run by Doug’s two sons, Joel and Jeremy Dodson, who build on the strong foundation laid by their father. They are continuously searching for ways to better serve our customers through innovation and evolution. Within the last five years, Mid Illinois Mechanical has reimagined its service division, launched its prefabrication shop, and has plans for more advancements in the future.
