What Sanitary Solutions does

Sanitary Solutions Group, LLC is a stocking distributor of sanitary stainless steel flow control products sold exclusively to sanitary stainless steel distributors and system integrators — it does not sell direct to end users and instead refers end-user inquiries to its distributor partners. The company serves downstream demand from bakery, beverage, cosmetic, dairy, food processing, and pharmaceutical processors across the United States, Canada, and South America. Headquartered in West Columbia, South Carolina, the company operates from three US warehouse locations (South Carolina, Texas, and Pennsylvania), with seven warehouses co-located at its South Carolina headquarters.

Its product portfolio is organized into five core lines: sanitary stainless steel polish tubing (ASTM A270-compliant T304 and T316L in sizes 1/2" to 12" OD with 20 Ra ID/30 Ra OD finishes), sanitary fittings (clamp, butt weld, I-Line, Q-Line, bevel seat, John Perry, tube O.D., schedule 5/10/40 pipe, biopharm, and gaskets), sanitary valves (ball, butterfly, check, plug, sample, and pressure relief), tank accessories (filters, in-line sight glasses, CIP spray balls, swivel joints, product recovery systems, and tank vents), and custom fabrications (long sweep elbows, spool pieces, instrument tees, manifolds, and dip tube assemblies). The portfolio carries 3-A Sanitary Standards certifications across nine product standards and offers full material traceability through heat-number marking, online material test report lookup, and barcoded shipment tracking.

The business model is quote-based industrial distribution with same-day order processing and shipping supported by stocked multi-warehouse inventory, dedicated inside and outside sales teams, and carrier diversification across UPS, FedEx, and national freight. Pricing is not publicly listed; sales are processed via phone, an account portal, and outside sales representatives, with revenue generated on one-time product sales to distributor accounts. In April 2025, Sanitary Solutions Group was acquired by FCH, a portfolio company of Audax Private Equity, marking Audax's 1,500th add-on acquisition; the company continues to operate as an independent brand under the FCH platform.
