FedPro

What FedPro does

FedPro, Inc. is a privately held, Cleveland, Ohio-based specialty chemical manufacturer founded in 1915 that produces a diversified portfolio of branded maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) chemicals for industrial, professional, and consumer end markets. The product line is organized around multiple flagship sub-brands rather than a unified platform: Gasoila® thread sealants (Soft-Set, Hard-Set, E-Seal, DEF, NT, 100, and FasSeal-ATS anaerobic formulations), Thred Tape® PTFE tapes in seven color-coded variants, Lube-It All® lubricants, Free All® penetrating oils, Tub O' Towels® cleaning wipes and sprays, EverSeal® pre-applied sealants, Thred Gard® anti-seize compounds, EFS® expanding foam, FAS-MARK™ marking paint, Zip Joint® PTFE rope, and Bundle Buddies® cable ties. The underlying technology consists of specialty chemical formulations rather than software or hardware platforms, with notable performance specifications including 10,000 PSI sealing ratings, temperature ranges from -450°F to 600°F, NSF food-grade lubricant approvals, MIL Spec compliance, and proprietary features such as Vaporlock™ canister technology and Bond Buster™ cleaning chemistry. Products are manufactured in small batches in the USA.

FedPro operates a hybrid distribution model. Direct sales are conducted through a Shopify-powered e-commerce storefront at fedpro.com that ships from a single Cleveland, OH warehouse. The bulk of volume flows through a multi-tier distributor network covering more than 40 partners, including industrial MRO distributors (Ferguson, Fastenal, Motion Industries, MSC Direct, HD Supply Solutions, Distribution Now, ORS Nasco), automotive aftermarket retailers (NAPA, O'Reilly Auto Parts, AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts), hardware cooperatives (Ace Hardware, TrueValue, DoItBest, Northern Tool, Hajoca), marine suppliers (West Marine), and Amazon Marketplace. Pricing is unit-based, with SKUs ranging from $5.49 (Lube-It All Deep Lubricating Oil) to $109.46 (EverSeal pre-applied thread sealant) and case quantities available for commercial buyers. FedPro targets three primary customer segments: industrial/professional buyers (plumbers, contractors, petroleum and LP gas operators), automotive aftermarket professionals and DIY consumers, and retail/household consumers purchasing through hardware stores and online marketplaces. The company holds 14 registered trademarks and multiple third-party certifications including UL Listed/Classified, ULC Listed, CSA certified, NSF approved, and MIL Spec compliance. Leadership disclosed includes Jon Outcalt as Chairman; broader management team is not publicly identified in source materials.
