Stertil-Koni has expanded its network of distributors with the addition of Garage Equipment Solutions (GES), based in Rensselaer, N.Y. GES specializes in vehicle equipment and service to customers in eastern New York State, Vermont, western Massachusetts, and western Connecticut.

In addition to having “broad knowledge of the territory, GES is recognized for delivering superior customer service, further aligning itself with Stertil-Koni’s business philosophy, which it calls Koni Kare,’’ the company said.

GES focuses on wheel service, vehicle lifts, waste oil, air, lube, and storage systems, plus service for vehicle repair shops.

Now, GES is poised to expand its presence in the demanding sector of heavy-duty vehicle lifting systems.

This isn’t the first connection between the two companies. A relationship between Stertil-Koni and GES took form when founder Peter Corsi had met Ed Carr, owner of D.L. Carr, a Stertil-Koni distributor, also based in New York State. GES and D.L. Carr developed a strong association by working together on several heavy-duty vehicle lift installation projects.
