Company History
Valicor started from the simple idea that there had to be something better to do with used coolant than to flush it down the drain.
In 1996, a young environmental engineer was working at a compressor plant in southeast Michigan. Week after week, he authorized the disposal of thousands of gallons of used metalworking fluid.
He quickly realized that if the contaminants were removed, much of the fluid could be reused. To his frustration, there were no companies offering the industrial fluid purification service that he envisioned. The young engineer researched the disposal situation at the local library. He found that the compressor plant he worked at was not the only plant disposing of used coolant in this way. With the help of a mentor in the centrifuge industry, he purchased a centrifuge and started modifying it for optimal coolant purification.
That young engineer was Tom Czartoski. He eventually quit his job at the compressor plant to follow his idea of "a better way" of handling used coolant. And thus it was that Valicor was born.
From a small two-man shop outside of Ann Arbor Michigan, to Valicor Incorporated; an international, multi-location, waste management services, resource management services, fluid purification, and on-site management services company. The one ideal that has remained constant is that the Valicor team of professionals remains committed to a better method of managing today’s resources.
