Lancaster Water Group

As the sun rises over the peaceful valleys and farmland of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, I find myself reflecting on the day ahead. Day 43 of the We Supply America tour is set to be a remarkable one, as the RV and I are gearing up to visit Lancaster Water Group. Nestled in this historic landscape, Lancaster Water Group is a testament to the ingenuity and commitment of American manufacturing. This fourth-generation family-owned business has been at the forefront of water treatment technology for over 75 years, dedicating itself to providing clean water solutions that enhance the quality of life for everyone. Josh Wenzel, the President, often speaks about how their work is more than just a business—it's a mission to ensure that every drop of water they touch is safe and sustainable. As the country becomes increasingly aware of the importance of water quality, with infrastructure challenges and emerging contaminants threatening our water supplies, Lancaster Water Group’s commitment has never been more crucial. Their state-of-the-art facilities and expert engineering team embody the spirit of innovation, turning water treatment into an art form that ensures peace of mind for consumers nationwide. Today is not just about seeing the operations of a leading water solutions manufacturer. It's about meeting the people behind the machinery—the dedicated team members whose stories weave the fabric of Lancaster Water Group's legacy. Some employees have been part of this family for 30, 40, and over 56 years, each with a story that adds depth to the company’s rich history. Josh told me about Lancaster’s commitment to community well-being, such as offering free water testing to help Americans understand and manage their water quality better. This service exemplifies their dedication to customer care—tailoring solutions with precision and speed, ensuring recommendations are in customers’ hands within 24 hours of sample receipt. I am also intrigued by the company’s commitment to partnering exclusively with our nation's distributors as their channel of choice. For example, our friends at APR Supply Co. have been partners for over 70 years. As I prepare to pull into their facility in just a few hours, I'm eager to embrace, listen to, and learn from each individual who contributes daily to making Lancaster Water Group a force for good in our society. As I've been reminded, it’s not the brick-and-mortar that defines this company but the collective spirit of its people. A special thanks to our partners Infor, Infor Distribution, Enable, and Wipfli, whose support helps us bring these empowering stories to you. Thanks, too, to Joe Kuklis for seeing the vision of We Supply America, its possibilities, and the introductions that made today's visit possible. Stay tuned for more from Lancaster Water Group, where every drop of water tells a story of innovation, care, and integrity.
