What ARIES INDUSTRIES, INC. does
Aries Industries, Inc. is a privately held U.S. manufacturer founded in 1985 and headquartered in Waukesha, Wisconsin, that designs, builds, and supports pipeline video inspection and rehabilitation equipment for municipal sewer/water infrastructure and private contractors. The product platform spans mainline inspection systems (Voyager HD, Mobile Voyager HD, Pathfinder, Mobile Pathfinder, RinnoVision), lateral inspection systems (LETS 6.0 and the new LETS Sidewinder), a full camera family (Voyager HD, WiperCam pan-and-tilt, Illumi-Zoom, lateral cameras, Laser Profiler) riding on steerable and non-steerable transporters (Voyager HD Transporter, Pathfinder Series, Badger, Taurus, Titan), the Wolverine 2.0 robotic cutting system, and complete vehicle platforms including System Ready Trucks, high-cube trucks, vans, trailers, the TrailBlazer mobile enclosure, and retrofit services. Core proprietary technology includes digital CANbus controls for instantaneous crawler and camera response, WiperCam in-pipe lens cleaning with field-replaceable wipers, full HD 1080p pan-and-tilt video with 120x zoom, a Master Controller operated via wireless Xbox One controller, and a 2026-released LETS Sidewinder architecture capable of simultaneous 1,200-foot mainline and 200-foot lateral inspections with 135-degree launch.
Aries monetizes primarily through one-time hardware sales complemented by technical support, parts, a 100+ piece loaner program, and operator training (including PDH credit via the Municipal Sewer Grout School). Pricing is quote-based and conducted through a hybrid go-to-market of direct enterprise field sales for large accounts and a 20+ dealer network across the U.S., Canada, and now Mexico, with cooperative purchasing access via Sourcewell (Contract 080525-ARS), HGACBuy, and BuyBoard to streamline municipal procurement. Primary customer verticals are municipalities and government agencies and pipeline inspection contractors, with a smaller footprint in energy infrastructure providers; the company also recently added an international sales function to support expansion beyond North America.
The company is led by founder, President and CEO Larry Brown, alongside COO Dirk Smith and VP of Sales and Marketing Wes Paul, and was recognized as a Top Workplaces honoree in both 2025 and 2026. No revenue, funding, or institutional ownership data is disclosed; the firm has no parent company and no known institutional shareholders.
