Currently operating from a temporary location, Simmons has purchased a 12-acre plot of land in northwest Garden City where it will soon break ground on a new 20,000-square-foot state-of-the-art office, warehouse, distribution, and testing facility, with completion slated for early 2025.
Founded in 1953, Simmons offers all types of pump systems and repairs – including .5-HP to 200-HP submersibles, 4” to 16” line-shaft turbines, centrifugal pumps, motor testing, and more – as well as a full line of accessories for residential and agricultural pump systems. As a wholesale distributor, Simmons caters exclusively to water well contractors and other industrial and municipal professionals, offering full-service pump systems, water well supplies, testing lab, scheduled product delivery, and diversified vendor support.
President Joe Riker, along with vice president of sales Chris Baker, will lead the Simmons team in Garden City. The company plans to initially employ 10 people working across sales, management, production, and distribution operations, with plans and space for growth.
“We are excited and honored to enhance and elevate our services to water well contractors and other industrial and municipal professionals throughout Garden City, the state of Kansas, and the greater Midwest region," said Joe Riker, president of Simmons Pump & Supply. "From our extensive selection of pump systems and water supply inventory to our advanced high-tech pump testing program and renowned customer service, we look forward to being the one-stop for all things pump and supply.”
