Our
Company:
Fluid Systems & Components was founded in 1977
by Bob Omohundro as a small operation out of his basement with two product
lines, Lynair Cylinders and Thomas Compressors. In 1981 Numatics chose FSC
as their exclusive distributor for Kansas and Western Missouri. Sales grew
rapidly with the addition of the Numatics product line, as did the need for
increased office and warehouse space to keep up with customer demand for off the
shelf items.
FSC began a strong growth in sales, employees
and product offerings. Fluid Systems & Components settled in downtown
Overland Park for several years. In late 2001, Bob teamed up with Steve
Moffett, a long time fluid power professional in the area. The two entered
into a buy/sell agreement as Bob was starting to think about retirement in the
near future. The two began to increase sales and customer service levels
at FSC. Sales continued to grow and in 2003 Fluid Systems & Components
was the winner of the Numatics Elite Eight award showing the largest growth for
all Numatics distributors in 2003.
Since FSC's humble start in Bob's basement
over 30 years ago, Fluid Systems & Components now handles over 20 product
lines to provide customers a complete one stop shop for pneumatic/hydraulic
components. We pride ourselves in being able to ship most custom manifold
assemblies from our inventory in less than 2 days assembled and tested.
Sales growth of FSC required another move and
in 2004 FSC moved to a new modern office/warehouse located in Grandview,
Missouri for more space and enough land for future expansion. In late
2005, Steve's son Brian joined FSC and began the second generation of fluid
power sales in the Kansas/Missouri market place. Bob retired in early 2006
leaving Steve to continue "minding the store" and servicing customers
for their pneumatic and hydraulic needs.
