History

In April 1964, Ford & Ivester Company was formed by Edward F. Ford and John Ivester. Ed Ford, previously the National Sales Manager of Bell & Gossett, joined forces with a minority partner, John Ivester who had been a B & G salesman for over twenty-five years.

The company was purchased in 1978 by R John Teller and the name was changed to Fluid Industrial Associates, d.b.a. FIA Inc. Through John's leadership, the company's philosophy and direction, as we know it today, began to evolve. New product lines were added, and his vision of an education center to train not only FIA employees, but also contractors began to take shape.

In 1983 John's vision became reality as a new facility was built in Woburn, MA with a full training center. Since that time the training center has been a very busy place, providing education not only to FIA employees, but also engineers, contractors and wholesalers.

In 1995, R John Teller became CEO and John T. Teller assumed the responsibilities of President. In 2002 John T. Teller purchased 100% of the stock from R. John Teller and became President and CEO.

The company's basic philosophy of providing quality customer service through a highly trained staff of professionals continues. FIA is committed to excellence and we thank our valued customers for their continued confidence in us.
