UR MISSION WAS, IS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE to provide the highest quality products and services at the lowest possible price. Walter Louis Fluid Technologies (WLFT) originated in 1968 in Quincy, Illinois. Our founder, Walter J. Giesing, was the Director of Power for Packaging Corporation of America.
Upon his retirement, he established offices in Quincy, IL, and served as a consultant to the power and manufacturing industries with a specialization in water treatment chemical applications and services.
In the mid-1970s, under the name "Walter Louis Chemicals," our Quincy facilities manufactured customized water treatment equipment, initially focusing on water softening and filtration processes. We expanded to include deionized water and reverse osmosis, as well as other specialized equipment applications.
As we grew, we expanded our chemical formulation capabilities, manufacturing acrylic polymers and a complete line of water and wastewater treatment chemicals for commercial and industrial applications. With these developments, Walter Louis Chemicals could effectively produce a fully competitive line of water treatment chemicals and chemical feed equipment.
During the 1990s, we once again expanded our manufacturing and technical service departments:
- Modified our product delivery system to include "tote-tank" (mini-bulk) and bulk storage capabilities
- Upgraded our technical services department to include computer design capabilities
- Implemented our WLFT "Full-Service Program" as a commitment to providing our customers with the highest level of technical services possible, including:
- On-call service for critical applications (24 hours/7 days a week)
- After the sale warranty and service
- Commitment to ongoing training and education
- Technological advancements, such as WaterWizard
, our predictive modeling software for cooling water scaling potential, corrosion rate, and inhibitor dosing.
