DeLoach Industries

What DeLoach Industries does

DeLoach Industries, Inc. is a privately held U.S. manufacturer founded in 1959 and headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, specializing in the design, fabrication, and servicing of custom water treatment, wastewater treatment, and odor control systems. The company is recognized as the first and oldest fiberglass manufacturer in the water treatment industry and produces FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) tanks and towers using hand layup, contact molded, and filament winding processes, alongside aluminum and stainless steel fabrication at its Sarasota manufacturing facility. Its product portfolio spans gas transfer systems (forced and induced draft degasifiers for hydrogen sulfide removal, decarbonators for carbon dioxide stripping, cascade/cone aerators for iron oxidation), filtration systems (pressure and gravity filters up to 13-foot diameter, greensand filters, plate clarifiers, ion exchange, membrane/RO systems, PFAS filter systems), odor control scrubbers (single and dual-stage chemical FRP towers and biological scrubbers), and supporting infrastructure (wet wells, oil/water separators, FRP ductwork, platforms, blower and chemical skid packages), plus AI-enabled control panels with PLC and SCADA integration.

The company generates revenue through five streams: custom water treatment equipment manufacturing (one-time capital sales), field services and annual maintenance contracts, engineering support services for engineering firms, replacement parts and consumables (random pack media, filter elements, carbon, nozzles, blowers, motors), and a newer rental/lease program for reverse osmosis and desalination systems. Pricing is quote-based with no public pricing. The company sells through enterprise field sales targeting municipalities, engineering firms, and industrial facilities, supplemented by a network of independent sales representative firms across multiple U.S. regions (Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and others) and industry partner distribution channels.

DeLoach Industries serves four primary customer segments — Municipal (water/wastewater utilities), Industrial (process water and air emissions compliance), Food & Beverage (FDA/NSF/ANSI 61-compliant high-purity water), and Pisciculture/Aquaculture (hatcheries, aquariums, fish farms) — and holds NSF/ANSI 61 certification and compliance with FDA, ASTM, ASME, and ANSI standards. It maintains industry association relationships with AWWA, WEF/WefTec, and the International Desalination Association, and operates with an 11-50 employee base under President Anthony DeLoach.
