LWT manufactures direct injection and spray equipment for high volume, cost effective land applications and bio-solids for municipalities, industry and agriculture. LWT also builds a line of specialized agitators and submersible hydraulic pumps for livestock producers. LWT makes equipment available for rental with option to purchase for customers who have a need for the equipment but cannot justify immediate purchase. LWT is known for its automated and radio remote controlled dredges, using Bottom Sense to protect pond bottoms and liners, Solids Sense to maintain delivery of a constant solids density, and other options such as Radio Remote Sense, Auto Sense, and Lateral Sense. They are widely considered the industry's leader in automation and remote control technology. In October of 1998, the Bonestroo group sold LWT to an investor group involved in dredging through other interests. LWT was reincorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland. LWT continues to concentrate on the manufacturing of Pit Hog lagoon dredges and remote control lagoon pumpers. In January of 2000, LWT acquired the assets of United Marine International, LLC, adding a new product line of marine trash skimmers and weed harvesters. The addition of this line gives LWT a complete range of equipment engaged in cleaning ponds, lakes, rivers, and other waterways. In February of 2003, LWT acquired the intellectual property rights and inventory of Innovative Material Systems, INC. This is a self-propelled auger dredge product line that complements LWT's products well. IMS' patented "star-wheel" propulsion system is ideally suited for canal and marina dredging. The combination of the technologies of both companies is supplying the industry with exciting new products. In July of 2003, LWT, LLC and Baltimore Dredges, LLC both came under the corporate umbrella of Baltimore Dredge Enterprises, LLC. While still operating independently, the new arrangement allows for the interchange of engineering and technology as well as markets and a worldwide representative base. LWT's offices and manufacturing facilities are located in Somerset, Wisconsin, which is located eight miles east of the Minnesota border, and only 45 miles from the Minneapolis/St Paul International airport. It employs approximately 30 people in three states.
