Industrial painting, coatings and specialized cleaning for facilities across Indiana, covered by full-time Kelly crews from the Chicago service center.
Indiana consistently ranks as one of the most manufacturing-intensive states in the nation. From the massive steel mills of Gary and the Port of Indiana to the automotive assembly plants in Lafayette and Greensburg, Indiana’s industrial assets require technical maintenance that can withstand 24/7 production cycles and heavy mechanical wear.
Kelly Industrial Services provides the professional-grade painting and specialized cleaning necessary to protect these investments. Our Indiana crews are 100% in-house, ensuring that every project - from South Bend to Evansville - is executed without the risks associated with subcontractors or temporary labor.

Questions
Common questions in Indiana.
How does Kelly Industrial handle the unique safety requirements of Indiana steel mills?
Our crews are trained in heavy-industry safety protocols, including high-heat environment awareness and specialized fall protection. Because we are a “No Subcontractor” company, every person on-site has been vetted and trained specifically for high-risk industrial environments.
Can you work during the tight maintenance windows common in Indiana automotive plants?
Yes. We specialize in “shutdown logistics.” We can mobilize large, multi-shift teams to work 24/7 during your scheduled maintenance or holiday shutdowns, ensuring your facility is ready for production on time.
Do you provide cold-weather painting for Indiana facilities?
Absolutely. We utilize specialized “low-temp” or “cold-cure” coatings that can be applied in temperatures as low as 20°F. This allows us to perform critical structural painting and exterior work throughout the Indiana winter.
What is the benefit of dry ice blasting for Indiana manufacturing equipment?
Dry ice blasting is a non-abrasive, moisture-free cleaning method. It is ideal for Indiana facilities that need to clean sensitive electrical panels, intricate machinery, or food-processing lines without the risk of water damage or secondary waste.
How do you ensure floor coatings can withstand the heavy forklift traffic in Indiana logistics hubs?
We specify and apply high-solids epoxy or polyaspartic systems that are engineered for high-impact resistance. Our preparation process ensures a deep mechanical bond, preventing the peeling and “hot tire pickup” common with inferior applications.
