What Fluidic does

Fluidic Limited is a UK-based, privately-held process instrumentation distributor and service provider established in 1993, headquartered in Glasgow with regional offices in Warrington (Northern) and Amersham (Southern, opened 2024). The company distributes and supplies industrial measurement and control instruments — pressure, temperature, flow, level, humidity/dewpoint, and CO2 transmitters, gauges, switches, sensors and data acquisition systems — sourced from manufacturer partners including Vaisala, Honeywell, Dwyer, Katronic, Micatrone, Stewart Buchanan, VEGA, Pyropress, Moore Industries and Kurz. The model is a hybrid of third-party product distribution with exclusive or long-tenured UK rights on selected lines (e.g., exclusive UK Micatrone distribution for 20+ years, Dwyer regional partnership for Scotland/North England for 20+ years, Vaisala partnership spanning the company's full 30+ year history), plus value-added services: UKAS-traceable calibration (pressure, temperature, humidity, CO2, loop), custom instrument panel assemblies with 5-valve manifolds for the UK nuclear sector, wireless CMS installation and validation, Magnehelic customisation (green/red zoning, enclosures), Honeywell burner surveys and spare parts, and Katronic flow-meter hire. The 11–50 employee organisation sells through internal sales engineers at the three UK offices and field sales engineers who visit customer sites with demo kits, supported by attendance at UK industry exhibitions such as Offshore Europe and webinars for the Institute of Measurement and Control. Customers span nuclear (EMPHASIS- and NDA-approved), oil and gas, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, hospital/cleanroom, food and beverage, water and wastewater, and HVAC. The company is a signatory to the NDA Supply Chain Charter and holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications across all three offices.
