Soft Start For A Water Plant

The water/wastewater market can sometimes be a tough market to get into. Manufacturers build specific products that are built solely around this market to help remain competitive against other markets such as industrial/HVAC.

Dough Mixers

We don't just fix large equipment. An opportunity recently came to Horner Louisville from a company who leases out Pizza dough mixing machines to Pizza stores along with other Restaurant equipment.

Horner Louisville secured the business after a competitor in Louisville took advantage of the situation and had increased their price to stratospheric levels. The units originally came in to Horner Louisville to have us check out and repair the motors which resulted in either a recondition [...]
