What F&J Specialty Products does

F&J Specialty Products, Inc. is a privately held American manufacturer specializing in air sampling instruments and air flow calibration systems, primarily serving the nuclear power industry. Founded in 1979 and headquartered at 404 Cypress Road, Ocala, Florida, the company designs and produces both traditional analog and microprocessor-based digital air samplers (high volume, low volume, AC/DC battery-powered emergency response, ultra-high-volume, and PM2.5/PM10 continuous monitors), air flow calibrators (including the World Calibrator with ±1% F.S. accuracy), radioiodine collection filter cartridges using TEDA-impregnated charcoal and silver zeolite adsorbents, tritium and C-14 collection systems, radon detection canisters, and supporting consumables such as filter paper and filter holders. Its proprietary Digital Flow Meter (DFM) technology provides automatic flow control with normalization to reference temperature and pressure, while its Global Air Sampler (GAS) systems integrate with the GASdaq PC data acquisition software and optional ruggedized cellular alarm notifications via text or email.

The company sells hardware directly to U.S. nuclear power plants, Department of Energy Radiological Assistance Program (RAP) teams, state emergency response teams, industrial hygiene professionals, and ambient air monitoring professionals, and distributes internationally through a foreign distribution network covering 24 major countries across six continents. Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales supplemented by recurring consumables (filter cartridges, filter paper, replacement parts) and accessories; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is provided on a quote basis via phone, email, and catalog-driven direct sales. F&J holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, operates with 11–50 employees, has no disclosed venture, private equity, or parent-company ownership, and is described as the leading North American manufacturer and industry benchmark in its category.
