About Us

COMPANY HISTORY

James C. Marean and Donald J. Hayes founded Aurora Equipment in 1978 and changed the name to Fluid Kinetics, Inc. in March of 1981. The focus of the business then and now, is to perform as manufacturer’s representatives of quality water and wastewater equipment.

In the beginning, the business was operated out of the home of Jim Marean where he grew the company based on two product lines. After several years of rapid growth, it become apparent that additional personnel and a parts and service department were needed. It was at this time that the company moved its headquarters to its current location at 251 Thorn Avenue in Orchard Park, NY. Once in the new facility, the company produced new product lines, enhanced its sales capabilities, added a parts manager, and receptionist.

The ongoing growth of the business eventually led to the addition of satellite sales offices based throughout New York State. Those offices, located in the Rochester, Syracuse and Albany areas, have become an essential part of the Fluid Kinetics operation.

In June of 2001, two employees of the company purchased the business from James Marean and Donald Hayes, who wished to retire. Today the companys new owners are Douglas J. Hayes and Robert S. Glace Jr.

Fluid Kinetics, Inc. has endured, while others have faded away. Product lines, new owners, and equipment changes had undergone growing pains, yet the main philosophy and business practices of Fluid Kinetics, Inc., remained in tact. Our dedication to customer service and the company’s steadfast belief that fair treatment to customers was necessary to the companys survival, which brings Fluid Kinetics, Inc. forward to today. The companys continued interest in our customer’s needs, and by placing their necessities first, Fluid Kinetics, Inc. focus, remains on task.
