Who Are the Isseks Bros?
Isseks Bros. Inc., established in 1890, became the world’s first water tank company, shaping New York City’s skyline for 134 years. The company was formed when the advent of elevators allowed buildings to rise above six stories, creating the need for water delivery systems to higher floors. The Isseks brothers pioneered this solution, playing a key role in New York’s urban development.
Now in its fourth generation, Isseks Bros. has worked on prominent landmarks like Rockefeller Center, the Freedom Tower, and the Empire State Building. The company continues to innovate and is preparing for its 150th anniversary in 2040, maintaining its commitment to craftsmanship and excellence.
