Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This amended statement on Schedule 13D/A (this “Statement”) relates to the common shares, without par value (“Common Shares”) of MPW Industrial Services Group, Inc. (“MPW”). MPW’s principal executive offices are located at 9711 Lancaster Road, SE, Hebron, Ohio 43025.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

A. The reporting person’s name is Monte R. Black. This Statement amends Mr. Black’s Schedule 13D filed on May 15, 2006.

B. Mr. Black’s residence address is 1400 Stringtown Road, Lancaster, Ohio 43130.

C. Mr. Black’s present principal occupation is Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and President of MPW.

D. Mr. Black has not been convicted of any criminal proceedings during the last five years.

E. During the last five years, Mr. Black has not been a party to any civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of which such person was or is subject to any judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

F. Mr. Black is a citizen of the United States of America.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations.

The Common Shares deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. Black were acquired through open market purchases using personal funds, by means of a gift, inheritance or other gratuitous transfer, or through his service as an officer or director of MPW.

With respect to the proposed merger transaction (the “Merger”) described in Item 4 of this Statement (which Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference), Mr. Black estimates the funds required to effect the Merger at the offer price is approximately $11.5 million. Mr. Black intends to obtain the funds required to consummate the Merger through debt financing obtained from LaSalle Bank, N.A.

The terms and conditions of the Merger are set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 14, 2006, between MPW and Noir Acquisition Corp. (“NAC”). Mr. Black, certain members of his immediate family and a trust created for the benefit of certain members of his immediate family (collectively, the “Black Family”) are the only shareholders of NAC. At the effective time of the Merger, NAC will be merged into MPW, with MPW surviving the Merger, and the Articles of Incorporation of MPW will be amended to be identical to the Articles of Incorporation of NAC (with the exception of the article providing the name of the corporation).


Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On August 4, 2006, the members of the Black Family gifted all of the Common Shares of MPW held by them to NAC. This was done to facilitate the transactions provided for in the Agreement and Plan of Merger. The members of the Black Family are the only shareholders of NAC. Mr. Black is the majority and controlling shareholder of NAC, is President and currently its only director.

As set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, NAC will merge with and into MPW, with MPW surviving the Merger. Each outstanding Common Share of MPW not directly or indirectly owned by NAC, the Black Family or MPW will be acquired by NAC for cash consideration of $2.55 per share. Following the consummation of the Merger, the Common Shares will be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, amended.

Other than as set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger and this Statement, Mr. Black has no plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the events set forth in Items 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D. However, if the Merger is not consummated for any reason, Mr. Black, through his involvement with NAC, intends to cause NAC to review continuously MPW’s business affairs, capital needs and general industry and economic conditions, and, based on such review, he may, from time to time, determine to increase his ownership of Common Shares, approve an extraordinary corporate transaction with regard to MPW or engage in any of the events set forth in Items 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D, except that Mr. Black currently has no intention of causing NAC to sell any Common Shares.

The Agreement and Plan of Merger has been approved by the boards of directors of both MPW and NAC, with approval of the Agreement being recommended to the board of MPW by a special committee of independent directors. The Merger must also be approved by 66 2/3% of MPW’s shareholders. Through NAC, Mr. Black beneficially owns approximately 58.9% of the total outstanding Common Shares entitled to vote on the Merger, and he intends to cause NAC to vote for the Merger.

The information set forth in response to this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) Mr. Black may be deemed to beneficially own 6,447,654, or 59.4% of the Common Shares of MPW, consisting of 6,312,654 Common Shares held by NAC and 135,000 Common Shares subject to currently exercisable options held by Mr. Black.

(b) Mr. Black beneficially owns the following number of Common Shares:

 

Sole Voting Power:    6,447,654 Common Shares   
Shared Voting Power:    0 Common Shares   
Sole Dispositive Power:    6,447,654 Common Shares   
Shared Dispositive Power:    0 Common Shares   


Sole Voting and Dispositive Power: Mr. Black beneficially owns the 6,312,654 Common Shares held by NAC, and as the controlling shareholder, President and a director of NAC, has sole voting and dispositive power over such Common Shares. Mr. Black also has sole voting and dispositive power over 135,000 Common Shares subject to currently exercisable stock options he holds.

(c) Other than the gifts to NAC by Mr. Black and members of the Black Family as reported in this Schedule 13D/A, Mr. Black has not effected any transactions in the Common Shares in the last 60 days.

(d) NAC has the right to receive dividends on, and proceeds from the sale of, the Common Shares it holds. Upon any such receipt of dividends or sale proceeds, Mr. Black and the members of the Black Family, in their capacity as shareholders of NAC, may receive some or all of such amounts.
