FLO-CORP

What FLO-CORP does

FLO-CORP is a private, family-owned B2B manufacturer of industrial flow and level monitoring solutions, founded in 1989 in Ohio and currently headquartered in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. The company designs, builds, and ships pre-calibrated measurement instruments across five core flow technologies—magnetic (MagFlo), ultrasonic open-channel (ChannelFlo), Coriolis mass (CorFlo), thermal mass (CalFlo), and positive displacement (PDFlo)—plus two level transmitter families (Tracer Air 80GHz FMCW radar and Ranger Elite ultrasonic). All products are factory-calibrated to NIST-traceable 1% or better accuracy, carry the industry's only five-year warranty, and target corrosive, high-temperature, foam, dust, and remote-monitoring environments.

The company's offering is anchored by the CONNEX 3D platform, which combines display monitors, cellular monitors, multi-channel monitors (up to 28 inputs and 25 relays), and cloud-based remote monitoring software into a sensor-agnostic ecosystem for level, flow, pressure, temperature, and pH. Certifications include UL/C-UL listing for ordinary and Division 2 hazardous locations on the multi-channel monitor and intrinsic safety (Exia IIC T6 Ga) on the Tracer Air radar transmitter, supporting deployment in regulated industrial settings. The portfolio is sold direct to end customers worldwide across more than 15 verticals including chemical/petrochemical, water/wastewater, oil & gas, power, food & dairy, life sciences, aerospace, agriculture, mining, and government.

FLO-CORP operates a direct manufacturer-to-customer go-to-market with no disclosed channel partners or institutional funding, and revenue derives primarily from hardware sales (units priced from $899 for a CONNEX 3D Display Monitor up to $6,919 for a CorFlo Coriolis meter, with several lines quote-based), supplemented by custom calibration, installation, troubleshooting, and repair/replacement services. The company's stated 20-30% cost advantage versus competitors, 35+ years of operating history, and ongoing expansion into cloud-based monitoring and adjacent verticals such as quick-service restaurants point to a stable, self-funded industrial niche operator rather than a venture-backed growth company.

Core offering

FLO-CORP designs, manufactures, and sells industrial flow meters (magnetic, ultrasonic, Coriolis, thermal mass, and positive displacement) and level transmitters (80GHz radar and ultrasonic) for process industries. Its CONNEX 3D platform adds wired/cellular monitors, multi-channel displays, and cloud-based remote monitoring software for real-time visibility into level, flow, pressure, temperature, and pH assets. All products ship pre-calibrated with NIST-traceable accuracy and are backed by a five-year warranty.

Product overview

FLO-CORP is a B2B manufacturer of industrial flow and level monitoring solutions. The product portfolio centers on two core technology families: (1) Flow measurement instruments including magnetic (MagFlo), ultrasonic (ChannelFlo), Coriolis (CorFlo), thermal mass (CalFlo series), and positive displacement (PDFlo) flow meters; and (2) Level measurement products including radar (Tracer Air) and ultrasonic (Ranger Elite) level transmitters. These are complemented by the CONNEX 3D platform ecosystem which provides monitoring, alarming, and data logging through Display Monitors, Cellular Monitors, Multi-Channel Monitors, and Remote Monitoring Software. All products are pre-calibrated and backed by a five-year warranty.
