Flomatic Corporation

What Flomatic Corporation does

Flomatic Corporation is a privately held U.S. valve manufacturer founded in 1933 and headquartered at 15 Pruyn's Island Drive, Glens Falls, New York. The company designs and manufactures a comprehensive portfolio of valves for the water and wastewater industries, spanning check valves (ball, swing, silent wafer, globe-style, and ward), automatic control valves, air release and vacuum valves (including the Sewair-Combo NXC and MAXIAIR/MINIAIR lines), butterfly valves (Sylax 3 and Azure), resilient seated gate valves, plug valves (Model 5400 Flo-E-Centric), flow regulators (Flo-Trol CD900), constant pressure pump control valves (Cycle Gard), deep well check valves, VFD-specific valves, foot valves, backflow preventers, ball valves, strainers, and break-off plugs. Product sizes range from 1/4 inch through 36 inches, and the portfolio is protected by 18 patents and nearly 30 trademarks, including proprietary designs such as the patented wafer-style silent check valve and the Deep Well check valve rated for 3,300 feet of pipe weight and 4,400 PSI.

The company operates an exclusively indirect go-to-market model: Flomatic does not sell directly to end users, instead distributing through a wholesale distributor network supplemented by a global sales representative organization covering all U.S. states, Canada, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia, serving customers in over 40 countries. Revenue is generated from hardware sales of catalog valves with quote-based, size-and-material-tiered unit pricing that ranges from approximately $400 for a small stainless steel ball check valve to over $7,600 for a large ductile iron VFD check valve. Served segments are horizontal across municipal water utilities, wastewater treatment facilities, industrial water users, irrigation operators, OEMs, and water well installers, with particular emphasis on AWWA-compliant and NSF/ANSI-certified products for federally-funded infrastructure projects.

Flomatic has invested heavily in regulatory and quality certifications — ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 (re-certified by NQA), NSF/ANSI 61 (drinking water components) and NSF/ANSI 372 (low lead), AWWA standards C504, C508, C512, C515, C517, and C530, MSS SP-67 and SP-125, plus American Iron and Steel (AIS) and Build America, Buy America (BABA) compliance — that prequalify the catalog for U.S. federal and state infrastructure procurement. The company is led by President and CEO Bo Andersson, with Executive Vice President Nick Farrara and a Board of Directors; recent commercial expansion has included appointing a VP of Sales, a Municipal & OEM Sales Manager, and a LATAM Sales & Marketing Manager, alongside an accelerating cadence of new product introductions targeting federal infrastructure demand.
