Kazmier & Associates

What Kazmier & Associates does

Kazmier & Associates (legal entity Kazmier, Inc.) is a privately held manufacturers' representative firm founded in 1972 and headquartered in Cumming, Georgia, with an operational office in Lenoir City, Tennessee and a satellite presence in Manchester, Tennessee. The firm represents roughly 29 equipment manufacturers across the water and wastewater treatment value chain — covering biological nutrient removal (Aero-Mod SEQUOX), advanced reactors (MBBR, MBR, IFAS from Kubota), headworks screening and grinding (Franklin Miller, Headworks International), odor control (Purafil, SYNECO, Indusco), dewatering (PWTech, Valmet), instrumentation (Rosemount, FLEXIM, Teledyne ISCO, Keller), SCADA/telemetry (Mission Communications), and fiberglass infrastructure (TRACOM). Kazmier earns commission-based revenue on the sale of these partner products rather than manufacturing its own equipment.

The company serves municipal utilities, industrial clients, consulting engineering firms, and governmental agencies across Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and the Florida Panhandle, employing 11–50 staff organized into territory-based field sales roles with dedicated managers for Georgia, East/Central Tennessee, West Tennessee, and Alabama/Florida Panhandle. Customer engagement is direct and project-driven, supported by on-site service, technical training, and representation in trade associations including WEF, AWWA, GAWP, and state-level water associations. The business is essentially a sales-and-technical-support intermediary; its competitive position rests on entrenched regional relationships, deep technical bench strength (including former utility directors and environmental engineers), and exclusive regional rights to a broad OEM portfolio.

In 2022 the firm transitioned from family-led to non-family executive leadership, with Lindsey Case becoming President alongside VPs Alex Tweel (East Tennessee) and Jason Bott (Georgia). As of 2025 Case additionally assumed finance and administration responsibilities, consolidating C-suite functions. There is no public financial disclosure, no outside investment, and no parent company.

Broad incumbents

• Mueller Water Products: Manufacturer of water infrastructure products including valves, hydrants, pipe, and metering technology serving municipal utilities. Adjacent to Kazmier's distribution of flow measurement and pressure instrumentation (Rosemount, Keller, FLEXIM), with deep utility relationships across the Southeast.
• Core & Main: Leading US distributor of water, wastewater, storm drainage, and fire protection infrastructure products. Functions as a comparable distribution intermediary but at vastly greater scale, with potential overlap and competitive tension on pipe, fittings, and selected equipment lines.
• Veralto Corporation (Evoqua Water Technologies): Spun out of Danaher in 2023, Veralto houses Evoqua and other water quality businesses, offering treatment systems, filtration, and instrumentation that overlap directly with Kazmier's portfolio. As a broad incumbent with significant direct sales reach, Veralto is both a partner channel risk and a comparable market participant.
• Veolia Water Technologies: Global environmental services and water treatment major, serving municipal and industrial customers with process equipment, chemicals, and digital services. Competes with Kazmier's principals on biological treatment, filtration, and dewatering projects, and increasingly sells direct to large utilities in the US.
• Xylem Inc. Global water technology company offering pumps, instrumentation, treatment, and metering products. Several of the brands Kazmier represents (e.g., FLEXIM/Flygt via Emerson partnerships) compete with Xylem's portfolio, and Xylem's growing direct sales capabilities are a structural competitive force against regional rep firms.

Direct peers

• Parkson Corporation: Supplier of water and wastewater treatment equipment including biological treatment, DAF, and filtration systems. Comparable to Aero-Mod, Tomorrow Water, and AdEdge offerings represented by Kazmier, with overlapping municipal and industrial customer base in the US.
• Aqua-Aerobic Systems: Manufacturer of biological wastewater treatment, filtration, and aeration equipment for municipal and industrial applications. Comparable to Kazmier-represented lines from Aero-Mod, Kubota, and Tomorrow Water, and competes for the same engineering-firm specifications in the Southeast and beyond.
• Huber Technology: Manufacturer of screening, grit removal, sludge thickening, and dewatering equipment for wastewater treatment plants. Directly comparable to Kazmier-represented brands Franklin Miller, Headworks International, and PWTech, serving the same municipal headworks and biosolids specification market.
• WesTech Engineering: Designs and manufactures water and wastewater treatment process equipment including biological treatment, filtration, and dewatering systems. Directly comparable to several of Kazmier's represented product lines and serves overlapping municipal and industrial customers.
• Smith & Loveless: Manufacturer of packaged water and wastewater treatment systems, pump stations, and headworks equipment. Comparable offering footprint to Kazmier's screening, pumping, and treatment principals, and targets the same municipal lift-station and small-plant specification opportunities.
