Cliff Williams / TPI The celebration at AES included food and games. AES has nearly 300 employees and is growing even faster since its merrger with Lennox.

Since Day 1, AES Industries has played a strong role in Tallassee. Although it's served Tallassee since its creation, it has grown to serve several other areas of the country and serving a national customer base since day 1. It merged with Lennox nearly a year ago. 

It all started in east Tallassee in 1988 with founders and Tallassee natives Ricky Benton and Lenard McGharr and moved to its current location on Highway 229 about 20 years ago. It’s now managed by Benton’s son Jason Benton since his father’s death.
