Komline is positioned to capitalize on this trend, serving as thepremium provider across a landscape of specialized products, applications, and customers.”
Harn, based in Venice, Florida, has been serving customers in the water treatment industry since its founding by Jim Harn in 1972. Its experienced process design team includes professional engineers licensed in civil, chemical, environmental, and mechanical engineering, and Harn manufactures its custom-tailored membrane filtration systems in-house to ensure high-quality production and timely delivery.
“We work with customers across the U.S. to create solutions that address their specific needs and maximize both operational and cost efficiencies,” said Harn’s Vice President, Julie Nemeth-Harn. “Our team of design engineers, CAD operators, and technicians are highly experienced in solving the most complex operational, mechanical, and logistical issues our customers face, and we are pleased to be joining forces with Komline to offer those services to even more customers. In turn, Komline’s broad capabilities will expand the technologies and support we can offer our existing customers.”
