We would like to
take a moment to extend to everyone a Happy Independence
Day. This is a time to reflect on the hard fought freedom that we
all enjoy today. This country is the envy of the world.
FloSource extends a special THANK YOU to the military and its veterans
who have defended this country and its values and their sacrifices in
the pursuit of freedom.
What a great time
to celebrate this special holiday to spend with family
and friends enjoying the outdoors during barbecues and
fireworks.
The ole USA is the
greatest country in the world. It is the honest,
hard-working folks like yourselves that make it so
special.
Enjoy the time off and take a moment to reflect on the meaning of this
day! For those folks working on July 4th a special salute.
It is through your effort and labor that make this day possible.
THANK YOU ...from
the FloSource
Team

Our
thoughts on the current economic situation:
We are asked daily by customers and
vendors: "how's business"? So here is our opinion; our MRO
business has never decreased, your plants are still running and require
valves to run. Our project business the first quarter was weak, but we are
seeing a strong presence of capital project spending in the 2nd quarter.
It is our opinion that things are picking up, we see this in our business
as well as our customer's businesses.
We are doing our part to stimulate our local economy during the past 12
months.
- Increased our employee count by 60%
while our competitors have been laying people off.
- Increased warehouse inventory 54% while
our competitors have emptied their shelves.
- Completed a significant capital
investment to our facility using local suppliers/contractors, trying
to do our part in supporting the local community/country. This
investment included energy efficient HVAC system (Bryant system
through local McKinney's Plumbing and Heating), new insulation
(through Bloomington Rose Walker Supply), energy efficient warehouse
lighting, new energy compliant air compressor (Ingersoll Rand - Made
in the USA), complete exterior paint (Sherwin Williams in
Martinsville), upgraded phone system (service provided by Smith's -
small business Owner out of Rockville, Indiana).
- Future projects include machine shop, VAC
(valve automation center) upgrades and bar code system for our
inventory.

A-T controls products: many of
you are using Triac products, but for those of you that haven't we
thought we would discuss a few key points: |
 |
- Most Triac actuated packages are
direct mount eliminating couplings and brackets.
- All Triac valves have exclusive pyramidal
stem seal.
- Triac offers many specialty valves
such as v-port control valves, multi-port valves, high pressure
valves, and sanitary valves.
