Nossa história
Os primeiros anos
Em 1986, o engenheiro químico Michael Gottlieb já era um especialista reconhecido em troca iônica para tratamento de água. Tendo subido na hierarquia técnica de marcas proeminentes como Permatit e Sybron, ele tinha mais de uma dúzia de anos de experiência no setor quando sua esposa, Lynne, o incentivou a abrir sua própria empresa, a 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.
Um caso de família
O filho mais velho de Mike, Jeffrey, ingressou na empresa em tempo integral em 1986 como diretor financeiro. Analista de crédito de um banco regional na Filadélfia, Jeff tinha uma vasta experiência em produtos químicos globais, atacado e varejo e manufatura e empréstimos para mercados médios. Seu primeiro grande “negócio” em 1991 foi transferir as operações comerciais da casa da família para uma pequena instalação de 10.000 pés quadrados a poucos quilômetros de distância, que incluía espaço para um laboratório, planta piloto e armazém.
O filho mais novo de Mike, Larry, engenheiro mecânico, ingressou na empresa em 1993 e ajudou a melhorar as operações e aumentar a capacidade de forma constante. Ele aproveitaria ainda mais sua experiência mecânica nos próximos anos, quando a empresa começasse a fabricar cartuchos de filtro e sistemas de água de alta pureza.
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
