Who We Are: Industry Leaders for Metalworking Fluid Solutions

Impact Fluids is a merger of several fluid companies to bring their collective knowledge and expertise together as one entity to provide better service to our customers. As a leading metalworking fluid and equipment distributor, we combine decades of experience to help manufacturers improve efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact.

Our History of Service and Innovation

Before Impact Fluids was founded, we were a combination of three companies: Great Lakes Industrial Service (GLIS), Curtis Fluids (CF), and Advanced Metalworking Solutions (AMS). Each worked independently to provide fluids or equipment to the metalworking industry.

Make the Switch Today

Studies reveal that once a barrel of fluid goes through a facility, its total lifecycle cost can be 8-15 times the original purchase price. This includes activities like mixing, transferring, removing excess fluid, washing solutions, and waste handling.

For over 30 years, we've provided metalworking fluids and equipment to mix, apply, and filter them. In that time, we've developed products, relationships, and analysis capabilities that give us a unique ability to help customers reduce fluid usage and costs.
