Our History

Brooks & Associates was founded in 1970 by Charles P. Brooks, a well-known and respected professional engineer. The company started as an independent sales agent for the Smith & Loveless Company, selling wastewater treatment equipment to numerous municipalities and land developments within the local area. After Mr. Brooks' sudden death in 1973, Leon Ziegler took over the operation. In 1978, the firm was reorganized under the ownership and management of Leon Ziegler, Harry Morrison, Edward Winter, and Marvin Schucart, which led to the addition of three major equipment lines: General Filter Company, Sparling Meter, and Wallace & Tiernan. Under the management of Edward Winter since the 1980s, the company has undergone significant changes, including down-sizing and reorganizing to become more efficient and focused. The company has also expanded its capabilities and market base to include design, installation, and greater industrial equipment sales. In 1990, Brooks & Associates merged with Rimbach & Associates, further increasing the client base and stability. Since then, the company has maintained stability with planned growth, with a record sales year in 1992.
