Equilibar

Equilibar is a private industrial fluid control company that designs and manufactures precision back pressure regulators, vacuum regulators, flow control valves, and related pressure-control products. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Fletcher, North Carolina, the company serves research and industrial customers and has developed a patented dome-loaded, multiple-orifice valve technology positioned for demanding pressure, flow, and vacuum control applications. Equilibar also markets sanitary valve products for biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and other life science process applications, making it relevant to healthcare infrastructure rather than therapeutics. The company joined Richards Industrials in May 2021 and continues to operate as an active brand and operating subsidiary. Its products are manufactured and tested in the United States and include research, industrial, sanitary, electronic, supercritical, and vacuum control solutions.
