Premium products for FirstEnergy
Corrosion Fluid Products Corp. (Farmington Hills, MI) provides high-end pumps, piping, valves and related components to diversified energy company FirstEnergy (Akron, OH), the fifth largest utility in the nation. Corrosion’s Fluids owner Joe Andronaco Sr. is proud of the business he’s built over more than forty years. “Our reputation is grounded in problem-solving and excellent service,” he states. “We pay attention to details and do what we say we will do.”
Andronaco, who has a disability rating from the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), served four years in the Navy before his honorable discharge in 1956. Then he joined a pump company where he was influenced by the MEs and Navy officers he worked with. He earned a 1965 BSME on the GI Bill from Fairleigh Dickinson University (Teaneck, NJ); twenty years later he completed a three-month Harvard Business School management program.
He launched Corrosion Fluid Products Corp. in 1968. The company specializes in process pumps, valves & automation, fiberglass piping, Teflon-lined steel piping and hoses for the chemical, pharmaceutical, steel and utility industries as well as municipalities. His customers include Dow Chemical (Midland, MI), Abbot Labs (Abbot Park, IL) and Eli Lilly (Indianapolis, IN). About a quarter of his employees have engineering degrees.
Corrosion Fluid Products Corp. has eight stocking branches across the Midwest. “We are spread across several states as well as several industries,” Andronaco says. “We’re not impacted by the local geography or by having a limited product.”
Additional divisions of Corrosion include their PureServe Systems Sanitary Products Division and CF PUMPSERVE, Corrosion's Pump Repairs Division.
