FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – OCTOBER 6, 2026

Triad Technologies, LLC (“Triad”) announced that it completed the acquisition of Filtration Corporation of America (“FCA”) on October 1, 2026. Headquartered in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, FCA is a value-added distributor of filtration and fueling systems components serving the aviation industry: fixed-base operators, storage terminals, and OEMs in the market. Since its founding in 1976, FCA has supplied aviation filtration systems, filter vessels, quality control testing equipment, petroleum handling equipment, pipeline supplies, loading arms, pressure control valves, and refueling nozzles to operations ranging from county airports to major international airports. The combination of Triad and FCA creates a deeper filtration and fluid handling offering for the aviation and fuel markets,  and FCA’s existing team will continue to provide best-in-class service to its customers.

“We are pleased to welcome the FCA team to the Triad family,” stated Greg Wissman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Triad. “Filtration is an area we have been deliberate about expanding, and FCA gives us both the product breadth and the technical depth to do it well. FCA has spent nearly five decades earning the trust of the aviation fueling community, and pairing that reputation with Triad’s distribution platform allows us to deliver a wider range of filtration and fluid handling solutions than either company could provide on its own. We are incredibly excited to add multiple Parker Hannifin-owned brands to our existing portfolio of products, most notably Velcon and Meggitt. Further, I expect Triad to continue to expand its filtration business in the coming years through additional investments and acquisitions.”

Gordon Tompkinson and Brian Tompkinson, co-owners of FCA, added, “Our father founded this business in 1976, and since then our customers have counted on us to know their operations, keep the right parts on the shelf, and get them what they need when they need it. Joining Triad gives those customers access to a significantly broader set of products and technical resources while keeping the same level of service they have relied on for many years.”

“FCA meaningfully enhances Triad’s filtration offering and establishes an attractive position in aviation and the fuel filtration markets,” stated Charlie Denison, Managing Director at Shorehill Capital. “We are thrilled to welcome FCA and the Tompkinsons into the Triad family.” Triad and Shorehill Capital partnered in October 2019. Since that time, Triad has substantially expanded its product breadth to include seals, O-rings, and filtration solutions.

Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP served as legal advisor to Triad, while Huck Bouma, PC served as legal advisor to Filtration Corporation of America. William Martin & Company served as financial advisor to Filtration Corporation of America. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
