Unsere Geschichte
Die frühen Jahre
1986 war der Chemieingenieur Michael Gottlieb bereits ein anerkannter Experte für Ionenaustausch zur Wasseraufbereitung. Nachdem er in den technischen Reihen bekannter Marken wie Permatit und Sybron aufgestiegen war, verfügte er über mehr als ein Dutzend Jahre Branchenerfahrung, als seine Frau Lynne ihn drängte, sein eigenes Unternehmen, ResinTech, zu gründen.
Working from the basement of his New Jersey home, Mike began importing resin from suppliers worldwide. The family kitchen doubled as the company laboratory where Mike would analyze resin samples to ensure they met his high- quality standards. He used a rented cement mixer to blend cation with anion. His sons were enlisted to bag the resin and ship it - one cubic foot at a time.
A family affair
Mike’s oldest son, Jeffrey, joined the company full time in 1986 as its Chief Financial Officer. A credit analyst for a regional bank in Philadelphia, Jeff had rich experience in global chemicals, wholesale and retail and manufacturing, and Middle Market lending. His first big “deal” in 1991 was to move business operations out of the family home and into a small 10,000 ft² facility a few miles away that included space for a lab, pilot plant, and warehouse.
Mike’s youngest son, Larry, a mechanical engineer, joined the company in 1993 and helped to improve operations and increase capacity steadily. He would leverage his mechanical expertise even more in the years ahead as the company began making filter cartridges and high-purity water systems.
Eine Familienangelegenheit
Mikes ältester Sohn, Jeffrey, trat 1986 als Finanzvorstand in Vollzeit in das Unternehmen ein. Als Kreditanalyst bei einer Regionalbank in Philadelphia verfügte Jeff über umfangreiche Erfahrung in den Bereichen globale Chemikalien, Groß- und Einzelhandel, Fertigung sowie Kreditvergabe im mittleren Marktsegment. Sein erster großer „Deal“ im Jahr 1991 bestand darin, den Geschäftsbetrieb aus dem Haus der Familie in eine kleine 10.000 Fuß 2 große Anlage zu verlagern, die einige Meilen entfernt war und Platz für ein Labor, eine Pilotanlage und ein Lagerhaus bot.
Mikes jüngster Sohn, Larry, ein Maschinenbauingenieur, trat 1993 in das Unternehmen ein und trug dazu bei, den Betrieb zu verbessern und die Kapazität stetig zu erhöhen. In den kommenden Jahren, als das Unternehmen mit der Herstellung von Filterpatronen und Reinstwassersystemen begann, sollte er sein mechanisches Fachwissen noch stärker nutzen.
Growth and expansion
Over the next three decades, the team steadily expanded the business through reinvestment. Each time they moved to a new facility,it seemed they would outgrow it within a few short years.
They aggressively acquired small, complementary operations and combined the assets and capabilities to form a new business units.
A Regeneration Services division (ACM Technologies) was established to offer offsite resin Regeneration, closed-loop wastewater treatment solutions, and RO membrane restoration.

A Filterworks division (Aries Filterworks) resulted from acquiring multiple filter cartridge brands (Vaponics, Hydro Components, and others). This division would manufacture standard and custom water purification cartridges and high-purity lab water systems (producing HLPC water and more) leveraging ResinTech premium media - each made in America.
The company purchased more advanced analytic instrumentation and added more technical expertise to create a Lab Services division offering world-class, unbiased resin and water analysis to customers.
Manufacturing
In 2020, ResinTech opened its new state-of-the- art global headquarters and non-solvent cation plant in Camden, New Jersey USA. The 360,000 square foot complex is the first new ion exchange factory in the US in more than thirty years. Inside, it manufactures its own ion exchange resin from scratch to rigid specifications without using solvents.
The factory firmly establishes ResinTech as a premier manufacturer of water treatment products, including ion exchange resin, granular activated carbon, water purification cartridges, and high purity water systems — all proudly made in the USA. Learn more
