Partners
Aquatic Management
Date: November 2024
Headquarters: Bluffton, IN
The Gerber family was looking for a partner who could both help expand their business in existing and surrounding markets while also allowing them to realize the value of their initial investment. They found that partner in Jones Lake Management, where a shared vision for sustainable growth made the transition seamless.
As part of the new structure, Aquatic Management promoted an 11-year veteran of the team to Operations Manager, ensuring leadership continuity and growth from within. In addition, former owner Nick Gerber has taken on the role of Branch Manager, continuing to guide day-to-day operations and support the team’s success.
While the former owners did not join the Board of Founders, their legacy of leadership and commitment to clients remains central to Aquatic Management’s identity. With the support of JLM, the business is positioned to grow stronger in its markets, creating new opportunities for both employees and clients while carrying forward the standards of service that the Gerber family built.
