Industrial flow control and distribution with 50+ North American and Asian facilities
FloWorks operates a portfolio of 13 distribution and manufacturing brands serving industrial flow control—valves, pumps, and specialty piping across chemical, power, marine, and semiconductor sectors. The tech stack is operationally mature (Epicor P21, Salesforce, SAP, AutoCAD, CNC) with no active migrations, suggesting stable systems; hiring is heavily sales-focused (25 of 55 active roles), yet the pain-point list centers on recruiting and retention—a classic signal that sales growth is outpacing pipeline and onboarding capacity.
