Our founder

Founder and owner, Anna Johnson, began her environmental equipment career specifically working in the vacuum truck rental industry where she developed a love for (and an admitted obsession) with vacuum trucks and the industry in which they exist. Anna brings an arsenal of industry knowledge to Aquip that she credits to none other than the network of people, customers, and environment that she was fortunate enough to surround herself with.
