ABOUT US
Keeping business flowing.
Flocontrol is Australia’s preferred nation-wide supplier of valves & actuation, pumps and specialty equipment. Read below for the story of how it happened.
Today, we service over 300 customers, including some of the biggest names in mining, water, oil & gas throughout Australia.
After working extensively with Hamersley Iron/Rio Tinto in the mining industry for over 10 years, Flocontrol’s founder decided to hone his expertise and make the switch to work with a renowned U.S. valve and automation business. As an Australian representative, he thrived in the supply of engineered products to Australian industry — having worked in it himself for many years.
However, as this U.S. business continued to grow, the need for an uncomplicated model that harboured closer connections with clients and their unique needs was identified. With this, Flocontrol was founded in 2006. The business would be a wholly Australian owned and operated company focusing on four key pillars: on-hand technical support, quality compliance, quick turnaround, and on-time delivery.
These pillars were designed entirely to prioritise and support our clients in making simple, fast purchases to keep business flowing. After 19 years of successful business, Flocontrol joined the CGIS group of companies in 2024. Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, CGIS is the recognized leader in the application of critical and Severe Service Valves. Founded in 1980 by Ross Waters, CGIS is led by a team of Valve and Automation SMEs with decades of experience in Mining, Oil & Gas, Pulp & Paper, and Water/ Wastewater industries.
Flocontrol now serves as the Australian arm of the CGIS group of companies, and continues to be a major supplier of valves for Australia’s largest mining and blue-chip companies, including Rio Tinto, Fortescue, Water Corporation, SSWA, ENI, Origin, GR, BHP, Santos, APA, AGIG, and Woodside.
