Business of the Week: Culligan Water

Emmett J. Culligan started the business in 1936. In the 1930s Culligan’s main focus was to treat hard water in the home with portable exchange tanks. Over the years Culligan has expanded its product range to include problem water treatment as well as drinking water solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

In 2004, Dan Sutter and Ty Baseggio purchased the Sterling dealership, and expanded their operation in 2007 when they purchased the Fort Morgan dealership. Sutter and Baseggio value their customers and pride themselves on the service their entire team provides. They have a very experienced team that strives to provide the best equipment available along with the best possible service daily: Dan Sutter (19 years), Ty Baseggio (18 years), Pam Koester (17 years), Ernie Naranjo (16 years), Russ Hershberger (15 years), Jon Medeles (13 years), Crystal Graff (9 years) and Matt Welsh (8 years).
