Our History

fps_family

John C. Wells Sr. and Margaret Wells started Fluid Power South, Inc. in 1976 with a small team and a resolute commitment to serving Georgia-area manufacturers, OEMs, and resellers. Supported by son John Jr., daughter Cathy, and wife Margaret, John Sr. and his team began acquiring product lines and developing relationships with customers.

Over the years, Fluid Power South found success with both traditional manufacturing products and newer automation components that eventually became the technology of choice for customers. Today, the second generation of the Wells family leads Fluid Power South, and the company counts among its customers global manufacturing giants Mohawk, Shaw, The Coca-Cola Company, Caterpillar, and Delta.
