Remembering Wif Finken: A Legacy of Service and Community
Finken honors the life and legacy of our founder, Wif Finken, who passed away on January 25, 2026. From starting a one-man water treatment business in 1961 to building a multi-service company spanning central Minnesota, Wif’s journey was defined by hard work and a commitment to people. This tribute looks back at his early days in the industry, his dedication to the community, and the "customer first" philosophy that continues to guide the third generation of the Finken family today.
