Eugene “Gene” Kois, owner and secretary of Kois Brothers Equipment Company, passed away July 21 after a battle with cancer.

Brothers Gene and George Kois started Kois Brothers Equipment Company in 1967. At the time the company began, a federal ban on refuse incineration had created the need for refuse containers. Gene Kois played a lead role in the design and fabrication of these and other custom products that Kois Brothers produces.

In addition to custom manufacturing, Kois Brothers is a full-line truck equipment distributor in Denver, Colorado.
