Fluid Tech

What Fluid Tech does

Fluid Tech is a privately-held hydraulic services and industrial distribution company headquartered at 2827 Pomona Blvd, Pomona, California, operating across four Southern California counties (Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino). The company runs an 11,500 sq ft dedicated cylinder repair department equipped for welding (Mig, Tig, Stick), honing and polishing, and custom rod manufacturing using 5 lathes and 3 mills capable of handling work up to 36 inches and 32 feet, plus a 60,000 foot-pound piston nut buster. A fully stocked seal room and an industrial hose shop with on-site crimping up to 4 inches and while-you-wait hose assembly in sizes from 1/4 inch to 12 inches (tested, certified, and tagged) round out the technical capability. Fluid Tech is a certified Enerpac service center and distributor for 18+ industrial brands including Gates, Texcel, Dixon, Stucchi, PowerX, Holmatro, Reelcraft, Donaldson, Kuriyama, Jason Industrial, Milton, and SAS Safety.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining professional services (cylinder repair and custom hydraulic fabrication) with hardware distribution (Enerpac/PowerX tools and cylinders, Gates and Texcel hydraulic hoses, Dixon valves, Stucchi couplers, filters, reels, fittings, and safety supplies). Pricing is quote-based for custom work and is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led via a physical showroom open 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM weekdays and on-site service delivery to construction sites covering startup kits, setup, training, and technical support. Customer segments are vertical-oriented and include construction sites, construction equipment rental companies, and industrial/manufacturing facilities requiring hydraulic maintenance, custom parts fabrication, and rapid-turnaround hose and cylinder service.

Fluid Tech has been operating for over 20 years under the brand 'Fluid Tech Hydraulic Services' and has cumulatively served over 1,000 customers. The company is privately held with no parent entity, no disclosed institutional ownership, no funding rounds on record, and no public listing. Source data does not include a management team roster, headcount figure, revenue figure, or any M&A, leadership change, or restructuring events. Geographic footprint is limited to the four-county Southern California service area, with no global expansion claims and no evidence of digital or AI-enabled service offerings.
