Schultz Engineered Products

What Schultz Engineered Products does

Schultz Engineered Products, Inc. is a privately held US manufacturer of aviation fuel handling and testing equipment and high-performance motorsports fueling systems, founded in 1995 by Rob Schultz and headquartered in Edgewater, Florida with research and development retained in Neptune, New Jersey. The company designs, fabricates, and manufactures an integrated product portfolio centered on fuel recovery systems (10-300 gallon standard sizes plus custom), direct-reading piston-type differential pressure gauges (over 20,000 units in service worldwide), floating suctions in custom 2-24 inch sizes, sampling connections (the patented AccuSample fuel-sampling system with over 15,000 units in service), grounding equipment, valves, automatic shutdown systems, and the NASCAR-approved Schultz AFS-9000 Single Point Closed Loop Refueling System plus a full line of racing fuel cells, dump cans, top plates, and consumable replacement parts. Three US patents cover core products (AccuSample 6,360,619 B1; Gauge Guard 6,234,224; Single Point Dry-Break Refueling System 7,182,098) and certifications include SFI 32.2, SFI 28.3, and Mil Spec M83413/4-1 compliance, with intrinsically safe and explosion-proof ratings for Class 1 Div 1 hazardous locations.

The customer base spans three commercial airports (JFK, LAX, ATL), the U.S. Department of Defense, helicopter operator Bristow US LLC, ground support firm Allied Aviation at Newark Airport, NASCAR-affiliated racing teams, and a long tail of motorsports customers - totaling 500+ worldwide accounts and over 50,000 fueling products in service globally. Schultz operates a hybrid go-to-market combining a direct e-commerce storefront on schultzproducts.com, a dealer and distributor channel (handled via [email protected]), and direct sales for custom/enterprise accounts, government clients, and international orders. Pricing is unit-based, ranging from $22 for a Bayonet Grounding Plug to $5,650 for a NASCAR Cup Series Top Plate, with fuel recovery systems delivering documented per-customer savings of $9,720 to $972,000 annually.

Schultz Engineered Products is founder-owned and operated with no institutional investors, venture capital, private equity, or public-market exposure disclosed. The company established its Florida manufacturing capacity in 2016 with a $2.79M capital investment in a 10,000 sq ft facility at Massey Ranch Airpark in Edgewater, partnering with Team Volusia Economic Development Corporation and the City of Edgewater, and announced a headquarters relocation plus 20% workforce expansion in 2019 alongside an Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University intern hiring pipeline. End-to-end manufacturing - engineering, welding, machining, and assembly - is performed in-house by a team of engineers, welders, machinists, and mechanics.

It is a scaled incumbent in many of the same aviation and motorsports refueling categories as Schultz.
• Parker Hannifin: Parker Hannifin's aerospace and fluid systems divisions produce fuel handling components, valves, and pressure instrumentation used across commercial and military aviation. It competes with Schultz on aviation fueling components at much greater scale and with broader product breadth.
• Emerson Electric (Rosemount / Fisher): Emerson's measurement and process control businesses (including Rosemount and Fisher) supply pressure, differential pressure, and valve instrumentation to industrial and aerospace customers. Overlaps with Schultz's DP gauge and valve product lines as a much larger diversified incumbent.
• Flowserve Corporation: Flowserve is a global manufacturer of pumps, valves, seals, and related flow control equipment serving oil & gas, chemical, and power markets. Overlaps with Schultz's pump-package fuel recovery systems and valves, though at much larger scale and across broader industrial verticals.

Regional players

• Fill-Rite (Tuthill): Fill-Rite manufactures fuel transfer pumps and meters for industrial and fleet fueling applications. Adjacent product overlap with Schultz's pumping and metering products in fuel handling, though its primary focus is industrial/fleet rather than aviation.
