Aries Industries celebrates 40 years of advancing underground infrastructure inspections
Aries Industries, a company specializing in state-of-the-art equipment for inspection and maintenance of underground infrastructure, is marking its 40th anniversary with a renewed commitment to the strong partnership culture that has fueled the company’s longevity.

Prioritizing positive experiences for employees, customers, dealers and suppliers has led Aries Industries to unprecedented technological leaps, ones that transformed how municipalities in North America maintain their infrastructure. Communities everywhere benefit from safe and efficient sewer systems. Aries Industries’ products play a role, improving quality of life for citizens using the buried pipelines.
“The average person might not see the impact of our products, yet we are committed to continually evolving and elevating these products’ abilities and performance,” said Larry Brown, President & CEO of Aries Industries. “Our dedication to teamwork fosters an environment where ideas thrive, and employees feel empowered to grow and succeed. This culture of care and partnership has enabled us to maintain strong relationships both internally and externally, which has delivered continual outstanding results.”
Headquartered in Waukesha, Wis., with service centers in three states and Ontario, Canada, Aries Industries has charted a journey of innovation since being founded in 1985 in Sussex, Wis. Its first product, a black-and-white camera, launched in 1988. A color camera followed a year later.
In the past decade, Aries Industries redefined underground inspection with four groundbreaking products: the Voyager™ HD Mainline Inspection System, Wolverine® 2.0 Electric Cutting System, LETS 6.0 Lateral Inspection System and Pathfinder Mainline Inspection System. All provided unprecedented access inside buried pipelines, with mobility, control and camera features that shattered norms.
Customers, meanwhile, continue to enjoy high-level service through the Total Support initiative. This comprehensive approach maximizes their operations time by providing remote diagnostics, loaner equipment, training and rapid repair services.
Aries Industries’ products are available farther and wider than ever before. Its dealer network has expanded to 21 vendors in the U.S. and Canada.
One of Aries Industries’ proudest moments was in 2010, when its video inspection camera played a critical role in the rescue of 33 trapped miners in Chile. When a call for resources was issued, the company shipped a camera with a 5,000-foot cable to the site. The camera returned images of the miners far underground, confined yet alive, and allowed them to share video messages with their families and rescuers.
“We will continue to innovate, support our customers, and improve the communities we serve,” Brown said. “As our industry evolves, we will invest in new technology, continue to expand our network, and strengthen relationships across the board. Forty years is a long time – we will only work harder to partner with those who helped us get this far.”
