Case Study: Keeping a Distribution Facility Running
One of our industrial clients in
Arden
operates a large warehouse that handles temperature-sensitive inventory. During a severe summer storm, their grid power failed. Within seconds, the Kohler generator system we installed engaged—keeping refrigeration units online, preventing spoilage, and avoiding thousands of dollars in losses.
Afterward, the client told us:
“We didn’t lose a single product, and our staff kept working safely while other warehouses in the area went dark. This system has already paid for itself.”
That’s the power of planning ahead.
