Goslyn

What Goslyn does

Goslyn, LLC designs, manufactures, and sells Automatic Grease Removal Devices (AGRDs) used in commercial foodservice operations to separate fats, oils, greases, and solids (FOGS) from wastewater prior to sewer discharge. Its core technology relies on immiscible liquid separation physics executed through a patented valve mechanism that uses only the hydraulic pressure of incoming effluent to expel separated FOG — no moving parts, motors, timers, or scrapers. Units are built from grade 304 stainless steel (14-gauge exterior, 2.5mm framing) and carry independent certifications from ICCES, NSF, PDI G101, UPC, IAPMO, CSA, and ASME, achieving 96.4% grease removal efficiency and a 99.6% separation rate against a 150ppm industry discharge threshold. The product portfolio spans seven AGRD models from 4 GPM (GOS20, $2,915) through 100 GPM (GOS320, $6,850), plus the patent-pending Low Drain Pump System (LDPS-10, $3,350) targeting low-floor drainage installations, and an extensive spare-parts/accessories catalog with model-specific flow restrictors, strainer baskets, oil cassettes, and heaters.

Goslyn monetizes almost exclusively through one-time hardware sales (AGRD units and LDPS) plus ongoing spare-parts revenue, distributed via direct e-commerce on goslyn.com, inside phone sales, two regional Canadian distributors (Western and Eastern Canada), and a recommended licensed-plumber installation network. Its customer base spans quick-service chains (Taco Bell, KFC, Chick-fil-A, In-N-Out), sports bars (Buffalo Wild Wings), warehouse clubs (Costco, Sam's Club, BJ's), grocery (Smart & Final), hospitality (Crowne Plaza), franchise systems (YUM/WingStreet), municipalities across the United States, and downstream influencers including design consultants, engineers, and kitchen-equipment suppliers. The company operates from Casa Grande, Arizona, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ACO, Inc., an international building drainage specialist founded in Ohio in 1978 with manufacturing in Mentor OH, Casa Grande AZ, Phoenix AZ, and Fort Mill SC, and a nationwide US sales and distribution footprint.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Watts Water Technologies: Watts Water is a large publicly-traded plumbing and water-treatment equipment manufacturer with grease interceptor offerings inside a broad commercial plumbing catalog; competes for the same plumbing-spec and engineer-influenced sales channel that Goslyn targets.
• Zurn Industries: Zurn is a broad plumbing and drainage incumbent offering hydromechanical grease interceptors (e.g., Z1000 series) alongside a much wider portfolio of plumbing fixtures; overlaps with Goslyn in restaurant spec-driven sales but does not specialize solely in FOG removal.
• Jay R. Smith Mfg Co (Smith-Cooper): Jay R. Smith is a long-standing commercial plumbing drainage manufacturer offering hydromechanical grease interceptors within a broader rough-in drainage catalog; competes with Goslyn for plumbing-spec-driven specification wins.
• MIFAB: MIFAB is a Canadian-rooted commercial plumbing drainage manufacturer offering hydromechanical grease interceptors and drainage products; competes for specifications in the same foodservice kitchen design channel as Goslyn.
• Canova (formerly Canplas Grease Interceptor line) — InSinkErator / Emerson: InSinkErator (Emerson) markets a line of commercial grease interceptors as part of its broader foodservice waste-handling portfolio; competes with Goslyn in restaurant FOG separation, though InSinkErator is anchored by its disposers business.

Direct peers

• Thermaco (Big Dipper): Thermaco manufactures the Big Dipper line of automatic grease removal devices — directly competing head-to-head with Goslyn in commercial foodservice grease interception, with comparable no-manual-pumping positioning and GPM-tiered product families.
• Schier Products: Schier Products makes GB-GR series grease interceptors and removal devices for restaurant and commercial kitchen applications, with a similar municipal-spec, multi-GPM product architecture that competes directly with the Goslyn GOS line.
• Grease Guardian: Grease Guardian markets automatic grease removal units targeting the same foodservice and commercial kitchen FOG-compliance use case as Goslyn, with comparable patented separation and small-footprint positioning.
• Canplas (a Drainage company): Canplas manufactures plumbing drainage products including hydromechanical grease interceptors for residential and commercial applications, directly serving the same foodservice FOG-management specification niche as Goslyn.

Others

• ACO Polymer Products (sister entity under ACO Group): ACO Polymer Products is the broader ACO, Inc. polymer drainage channel and a sister entity to Goslyn under the ACO parent; adjacent enabling drainage products and arguably the parent-channel route through which Goslyn accesses certain specifications.
