Flow Control Group (FCG), founded in 2014, is North America's largest network of technical distributors and solutions providers in flow control, industrial automation, and life sciences. Operating across 170+ locations throughout North America - including Canada, where it expanded in 2016 - the company brings together over 115 entrepreneurial brands under a single platform, serving customers across a broad range of industries with mission-critical products and services.
FCG's core business is technically oriented industrial distribution and service, with three primary areas of focus:
- Flow control: mission-critical flow control products and related services
- Industrial automation: automation solutions delivered across diverse industrial end markets
- Life sciences: specialised solutions added to the portfolio following FCG's entry into the sector in 2017
The company has grown primarily through a deliberate strategy of partnership and acquisition, preserving the identity and entrepreneurial character of the brands it brings on board. In 2021, FCG partnered with KKR to launch a broad-based employee ownership programme, giving all 3,500 team members a direct stake in the company's performance. That ownership structure is central to how FCG operates - individual contributors, not just senior leadership, share in the company's success.
