What Flodraulic does

Flodraulic Group Inc. is a privately held industrial fluid power distributor and systems integrator founded in 1980 in Toronto, Canada by Ed Stock and Lou Laskis. The company designs, distributes, and integrates hydraulic, pneumatic, lubrication, filtration, fluid conveyance, heat transfer, and electrical control solutions for industrial manufacturers, mobile equipment OEMs, marine operators, and adjacent sectors including medical and automotive production. Operationally, Flodraulic runs 9 wholly-owned subsidiary divisions across North America and Europe (Flodraulic USA, Flodraulic Canada, North American Hydraulics, Omniflex, AirMax Industries, Universal Air & Hydraulic, RHM Fluid Power, Oleobi Hydraulic Systems, and SACE Srl), combining a multi-branch field sales footprint with an e-commerce storefront and exclusive supplier partnerships with global brands including SMC, Pall, Hydrocontrol, Danfoss, and Kawasaki Hydraulics. Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) component and product distribution across pumps, valves, cylinders, motors, filters, accumulators, heat exchangers, hose, and fittings; (2) custom engineered-to-order system design, integration, and fabrication including hydraulic power units, manifolds, test systems, and electrical panels; and (3) value-added field service, installation, repair, and maintenance. Pricing is quote-based under Ex Works delivery terms with 30-day payment, with business conducted through direct enterprise field sales, channel/distributor relationships, and a direct online shop. Adam Laskis was promoted to Global President in October 2024, leading a tri-regional structure covering the US, Canada, and Europe.
