La nostra storia
I primi anni
Nel 1986, l'ingegnere chimico Michael Gottlieb era già un esperto riconosciuto nello scambio ionico per il trattamento dell'acqua. Dopo aver scalato i ranghi tecnici di marchi importanti come Permatit e Sybron, aveva più di una dozzina di anni di esperienza nel settore quando sua moglie Lynne lo esortò a fondare la sua azienda, ResinTech.
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.
Un affare di famiglia
Il figlio maggiore di Mike, Jeffrey, è entrato in azienda a tempo pieno nel 1986 come Chief Financial Officer. Analista del credito per una banca regionale di Philadelphia, Jeff aveva una ricca esperienza nel settore chimico globale, nella vendita all'ingrosso e al dettaglio e nel settore manifatturiero e nel credito al mercato medio. Il suo primo grande «affare» nel 1991 è stato quello di trasferire le attività aziendali dalla casa di famiglia a una piccola struttura di 10.000 piedi quadrati a poche miglia di distanza che includeva lo spazio per un laboratorio, un impianto pilota e un magazzino.
Il figlio più giovane di Mike, Larry, un ingegnere meccanico, è entrato in azienda nel 1993 e ha contribuito a migliorare le operazioni e aumentare costantemente la capacità. Avrebbe sfruttato ancora di più la sua esperienza meccanica negli anni a venire, quando l'azienda iniziò a produrre cartucce filtranti e sistemi per acqua ad alta purezza.
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
