Waukesha, Wis. – Aries Industries, the industry leader in state-of-the-art equipment for inspection and rehabilitation of underground infrastructure, has experienced significant growth in its core business of wastewater inspection and rehabilitation product lines. As a result of this increased growth, Aries Industries has decided to sell its non-core Water Well assets to Laval Underground Surveys (LUS) of Fresno, Calif.

The sale allows Aries Industries to focus and invest their efforts entirely in the continued development of solutions for the larger wastewater inspection and rehabilitation markets. This strategic decision to divest from its successful Water Well assets is in response to the unprecedented demand for its wastewater inspection and rehabilitation product lines. Most notably, the enthusiastic reception of Aries Industries’ high-definition mainline inspection system, Voyager™ HD, as well as the all-electric cutter, Wolverine 2.0®, has accelerated its momentum in these markets.

Aries Industries has proudly delivered outstanding quality and customer service to its Water Well customers for many years. LUS will immediately assume responsibility for Aries Industries’ water well quotes, parts, service, support and warranty.

“Aries Industries is on a strong growth trajectory, thanks to our customers, dealers and employees,” said Larry Brown, President and CEO of Aries Industries. “The innovative solutions our team has produced in recent years have shifted the technology landscape of wastewater inspection and rehabilitation. The growth within these product lines validates that they are the future of the company. We will continue to sharpen our focus and commitment on growing our digital wastewater inspection and rehabilitation product offerings.”

Founded in 1985, Aries Industries is the industry leader in manufacturing durable video pipeline inspection and rehabilitation systems, plus data management software, to meet the toughest challenges of underground infrastructure and environmental applications. Focused on “Raising the Bar Underground,” the company’s cameras, tractors and fully-integrated systems are built upon a bedrock of continuous innovation, unmatched reliability and expert customer service.

GLRC Extends “Helping Hands” for the Re-Roofing of RMHC-Marshfield

Before

Marshfield, WI, May 17, 2023 – Great Lakes Roofing Corporation (GLRC), a leading provider in commercial and industrial roofing and 2022 recipient of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Torch Award for Ethics, donated time and materials for the re-roofing of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Marshfield (RMHC-Marshfield).

The RMHC-Marshfield re-roofing project is part of GLRC’s “Helping Hands” program that aims to build and support communities. It proudly upholds the company’s adherence to the Roofing Alliance’s commitment to adopting all RHMC chapters nationwide. Materials for this project were donated in part by GAF and ABC Supply, who often work with the Roofing Alliance to support RMHC projects.  

In 2017, when the Roofing Alliance committed to adopting Houses, President of GLRC, Chris Lampien spearheaded the adoption of the RHMC-Madison location. Because of his personal experience with a medically fragile child at birth, he feels drawn to provide what he can to support other families experiencing complex medical situations.

“In 2022, our staff member, Karlie McNulty, reached out to the Ronald McDonald House in Marshfield to see if they could receive some holiday turkeys as a donation. Karlie learned the House no longer had an adoptive roofing partner, so we stepped up meet their needs. We believe in the mission of RMHC and are committed to giving what we can,” said Lampien.

"Ronald McDonald House Charities of Marshfield serves hundreds of families every year as a home away from home that provides comfort, support, and resources to families with hospitalized children. We’re incredibly grateful to Great Lakes Roofing and their partners at the Roofing Alliance for the generous donation of a new roof. Thanks to their generosity, our Ronald McDonald House will continue to provide a safe respite for families with sick kids when they need it most," said Iilee Pederson, Executive Director of the RMHC-Marshfield.

Both established in 1983, GLRC and RMHC-Marshfield are celebrating their 40th anniversary this year, making the latter’s re-roofing notable among GLRC’s community projects. Having gone through his own experience with a medically fragile child, GLRC Field Manager David Kaufman recounts how much the project means to him:

“My son was born two months premature, and I can relate to what the parents are going through with a sick child. My wife and I resided close enough to the hospital to be able to return home daily while our child received care, but if we lived further away we would have stayed at the local Ronald McDonald House. When your main concern is the care and wellbeing of your child, knowing that RMHC is available so that you can stay close enough to be there for your child, that’s an invaluable support system for parents,” said Kaufman.

Kaufman and his colleague McNulty will volunteer at the RMHC-Marshfield home in September, representing GLRC.

RMHC has 165 chapters across the U.S. The nonprofit seeks to support children’s access to medical care and ensure their families’ active involvement by providing secure and comfortable shelters near top children’s hospitals. GLRC, a member of the Roofing Alliance, has serviced the roofs of RMHC-Madison since 2017 and RMHC-Marshfield since 2022.

Headquartered in Germantown, Wis., Great Lakes Roofing Corporation is a national award-winning roofing company providing commercial/industrial building owners with the solutions they need to keep their products and people safe. GLRC is celebrating 40 years as a quality construction company that maintains its core values and family culture while providing clients with the safest and best services. GLRC’s mission is to be a client’s trusted partner and first choice in roofing solutions. Learn more at www.greatlakesroofing.net.
