WAUKESHA, Wis. - ColoradoDesk -- Aries Industries, celebrating 40 years as the industry leader in state-of-the-art equipment for inspection and maintenance of underground infrastructure, has earned a USA Today Top Workplaces 2025 award based on polling from its highly-skilled workforce.

The honor recognizes the company for putting employees first, making it a great place to work. Aries Industries received the award April 10 at an event hosted by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The awards were based on surveys of more than 54,000 employees at organizations across southeastern Wisconsin.

The newspaper calls the honor "The Gold Standard of Employer Recognition," stating "Top Workplace awards recognize local employers that have gone above and beyond to create an outstanding workforce culture." Aries Industries has employees across North America. Top Workplaces determines winners using a proprietary approach combining data and industry-leading benchmarks.

"We know everyone thinks they have the best team, but we truly do," said Larry Brown, President & CEO of Aries Industries. "Our group is a unique mix of personalities and talents, from engineers designing the next great product to technicians assembling fully outfitted vehicles. Our success comes from our people, our partners and our culture."

Key elements of Aries Industries' culture include clear career paths and internal growth opportunities, and cross-functional teamwork across departments. Employees enjoy wellness initiatives and highly-competitive benefits, including a fitness center. The company engages in community outreach such as hosting blood drives, and partnering with schools and colleges to provide hands-on experiences for students.

Not expressly stated, but fully understood by Aries Industries' employees, is that their work directly benefits people across the U.S. and Canada. Underground infrastructure – pipelines transporting water, sewage and other substances – is critical to functioning municipalities. Aries Industries' products allow up-close inspections inside these pipes, identifying potential problems before they become crises.

"This award directly reflects the incredible dedication and professionalism of our employees," Brown said. "We strive to foster an environment where ideas thrive, and workers feel empowered to grow and succeed. Our culture emphasizes caring and partnership. Celebrating four decades of success only happens when teamwork is real, not just a buzzword."
