Expertise
Ed joined Fluidics in 1979, becoming vice president and a member of the executive management staff in 1981.

Furthermore, Ed has been instrumental in developing Fluidics' strong, stable sales force. Unmatched in the tri-state area, it uses a variety of sophisticated management approaches, including automated sales reporting, computerized hit-rate-by-salesperson and purchase order systems, and advanced service agreement estimating procedures.

 

Ed has added a number of other important capabilities, too, including electrical services, sheetmetal installation, building operations, and energy and indoor air quality management. He also created the three operating divisions - service, retrofit and construction, and onsite facilities services.

 

In addition to being past president of the Institute of Operating Engineers, Ed was president of the Service Contractors of Delaware Valley and the Mechanical Service Contractors of America.
