Company History
The company began in water-related sales and service more than three decades ago. Gary started with milking equipment and moved into water softeners and treatment systems. Over the years the business added plumbing work, and in 2006 the owners expanded services to include full plumbing under the same roof.
Kes Equipment & Sales still services older Hague Quality softeners while selling Aqua Systems products today. The long local presence means many area homeowners recognize the phone voice and the slogan: “We can do anything with water but walk on it.”
Leadership
Gary, the owner, has been self-employed since age 18. He and Pauline co-own the business and have managed it through steady growth. They also operate as Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Northfield, so calls may be answered under either name. That continuity keeps service consistent for customers throughout Northfield and nearby towns.
