IMS, Division of Ellicott Dredge Technologies, LLC started in 1986 in Olathe, KS with the primary focus of providing submersible pumps and one-truck transportable dredges to the wastewater industry. IMS quickly became a leader in the wastewater dredge market, but in 1996 diversified its markets due to increased demand for easier to use one truck transportable dredges.
