For companies like Macaulay Controls, Assmann is more than just a name. It’s a local presence with a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Located in Webster, Texas, Macaulay Controls is a distributor of equipment for municipal and industrial water and wastewater applications. The company has continued to work closely with the team at Assmann Southwest in Marshall, Texas.

Over the years, the Macaulay Controls has learned that having an Assmann expert in their corner makes all the difference.

“Any time I have a question that I can’t figure out on my own, I’m calling Assmann Southwest,” said Phillip Kim, Macaulay Controls President. “That’s really across the board for any application, whether it’s a chemical that I haven’t come across before or a material that I’m unsure of or a specification that calls for something that I’m not sure that Assmann provides. We always get a good response from them.”

Expanding its operations in 2004, Assmann opened its Southwest location. Now, the corporation is able to serve various entities across the United States and continue going the extra mile, sometimes literally.

Brent Morgan, an Area Sales Representative for Macaulay Controls, recalls an instance where he experienced firsthand how Assmann shows up for its distributors.

According to Brent, Assmann Southwest General Manager Mike Combs went out of his way to join Brent in a meeting with a potential customer in Texas City.

While Mike had already met the customer years prior, his willingness and dedication made an impact.

“[From] having the service and then basically getting the detailed service aspects we need to help sell everything, and he’s (Mike) made himself available [for it all],” Brent said.

Assmann’s local presence, combined with its standards for success, have been a game changer for the way Macaulay Controls conducts business.

“Having someone locally, in our state, in the same time zone, that we know has been there for a long time, that knows the product lines, knows the customers, knows production. That has been really instrumental in how efficient we are with quoting tanks and projects,” Phillip said.

Whether it’s a one-off question or an inquiry highly specific to one customer, the pair work together to provide the best possible chemical storage solutions for water and wastewater applications.
