What Fabco Industries does

Fabco Industries, Inc. is a Hauppauge, New York-based manufacturer of engineered stormwater filtration and treatment systems, founded in 1997 and operating from a 28,000 sq. ft. facility since a 2023 relocation. The company designs and produces a portfolio of approximately 25 SKUs across four product families: decentralized inlet filtration (StormBasin cartridge-based filters, StormSack geotextile catch basin inserts, StormRing pipe-mounted screens, StormHood outlet protection, ScreenBox, StormTrough, Flume Filter, Beehive, Connector Pipe Screen, ARS, and trench drain products), centralized vault treatment (StormSafe and Helix), green infrastructure (FocalPoint biofiltration and R-Tank underground storage), and interchangeable filter media (FabGuard antimicrobial, FabLite heavy metals, FabMax hydrocarbons, FabSorb oil and grease, FabPhos nutrients, and microplastics cartridges). Its core technological differentiator is a patented expanding ring system that enables drill-free installation on outlet pipes; FABGUARD is the company's EPA-registered antimicrobial filter media for coliform bacteria treatment.

The company sells primarily through channel partners — most notably Ferguson Waterworks, the largest U.S. waterworks distributor — supplemented by regional installation and service partners (Downstream Services in California, California Filtration Specialists, Titan Environmental, Geotech Solutions, Jen Hill Construction) and direct project quotes via its website and sales team. Pricing is quote-based rather than list-priced. Customers are predominantly municipal and county governments (NYCDEP, Nassau County, Philadelphia Water Department, City of Malibu, East Hampton, Putnam County, Town of Hempstead, City of El Cajon), with secondary segments in commercial/industrial sites (APM Terminals, Con Edison, SIMS Recycling), nonprofit and watershed organizations (Operation SPLASH, East of Hudson Watershed Corporation), and education (Tsai Hsing School, Taiwan via the SEE Program). Fabco reports 25,000+ installations globally and has won industry recognition including a 2022 Colorado LTAP Trailblazer Award and a 2025 ASCE San Diego Outstanding Environmental Engineering Project Award.

Fabco is privately held under a founder/family ownership structure (founded by John Peters' father), with no disclosed institutional funding, parent company, or M&A activity. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of manufactured products plus custom engineering services, with a recurring media-replacement component built into the cartridge architecture. Recent strategic activity (2023–2026) has centered on facility expansion, a continuous cadence of new product launches (Flowline CPS in April 2026, StormHood in March 2025, StormRing CPS redesign in March 2024, ARS and StormTrough in 2024, temporary sediment liner in February 2026), and partnerships addressing emerging pollutant categories such as microplastics from artificial turf fields.

Product overview

Fabco Industries is a manufacturer of engineered stormwater filtration and treatment systems founded in 1997. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of physical stormwater treatment products organized into four categories: Decentralized Treatment (inlet filters including StormBasin, StormSack, ScreenBox, StormRing, StormHood, StormTrough, Flume Filter, and others for various inlet types), Centralized Treatment (StormSafe and Helix vault systems for larger scale applications), Filtration Media (interchangeable cartridges including FabGuard for bacteria, FabLite for heavy metals, FabMax for hydrocarbons, FabSorb for oil/grease, FabPhos for nutrients, and microplastics cartridges), and Green Infrastructure (FocalPoint biofiltration system and R-Tank underground storage). The product portfolio addresses specific pollutants including trash and debris, total suspended solids, hydrocarbons, bacteria, heavy metals, phosphorus/nutrients, and microplastics. Products are designed for retrofits, new construction, and green infrastructure applications with a focus on easy installation (Lift, Measure, Drop system) and maintenance.

• Hydro International: Hydro International designs stormwater treatment systems including separators, biofilters, and filters targeting trash, sediments, and pollutants. It serves municipal stormwater, CSO, and industrial pretreatment markets with a comparable product philosophy to Fabco.
• Imbrium Systems: Imbrium Systems manufactures stormwater filtration media and treatment devices (e.g., Jellyfish, StormFilter) for municipal and urban runoff applications. It is a direct competitor in cartridge- and media-based stormwater filtration serving the same spec-driven market.
• BaySaver: BaySaver manufactures stormwater treatment systems including oil/water separators and media filters for municipalities and developers. It competes in the same hydrocarbon, TSS, and trash-capture niches Fabco addresses with its FabMax, FabLite, and StormBasin lines.
• Kristar Enterprises: Kristar (AquaShield, EnviroSafe) provides stormwater filtration, hydrodynamic separation, and water quality products. Its catch basin inserts and filtration devices compete directly with Fabco's StormBasin and StormSack families.

Broad incumbents

• Oldcastle Infrastructure (CRH): Oldcastle Infrastructure, part of CRH, offers a comprehensive stormwater management portfolio including filtration, detention, and drainage products. It is a broad incumbent competing across many of the same product categories and customer segments as Fabco.
• Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS): ADS is a leading manufacturer of drainage and water management products including stormwater treatment systems. As a broad incumbent with strong distribution, ADS competes with Fabco for stormwater quality mandates, especially on larger civil infrastructure projects.

Regional players

• Convergent Water Technologies: Convergent Water Technologies (parent of MWRD-related brands) is a Fabco strategic partner but also a manufacturer/aggregator of stormwater quality products. It is comparable because it bundles and distributes competing and complementary filtration solutions in the municipal market.
