Leadership
Jeff Locher — President. Jeff leads MIC with decades of field experience on automotive and distribution installation sites. His project-first, crew-first approach is the reason MIC gets called back.
How we work
We are a field-first contractor. Our value lives on the site — the crews who show up, the supervisors who read drawings, and the safety program that keeps everyone going home at the end of the shift. We bid tight, schedule honestly, and do not take jobs we cannot deliver.
Licensed in nine states
MIC holds active contractor licenses in Ohio, Alabama, Texas, Mississippi, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Tennessee, and Kentucky. That footprint is not accidental — it mirrors where America\'s automotive and distribution operations live. Our Service Area page has details on each state.
Safety and compliance
OEM sites are the highest bar in American industry for safety documentation and field compliance. MIC crews carry the certifications, orientations, and PPE discipline required to badge onto active automotive and distribution sites. Safety is not an afterthought — it is the gating criterion for getting hired back.
