Located on Fox Island, WA, Global FIA, Inc. is a few miles from Tacoma, WA in the south Puget Sound area in close proximity to Seattle and the Seatac International Airport. From this location, Global FIA has established an international customer base that extends onto every continent and into a wide range of business sectors.

Global FIA's primary business is in the areas of Flow Injection Analysis (FIA), Sequential Injection Analysis (SIA), process analysis, and sample handling systems. In these areas, Global FIA offers both Products and R&D services. Most of the products included in our product line were developed by our scientists to meet customer requirements and market needs. Frequently, as part of the product development cycle, Global FIA personnel are asked to offer consulting services and custom application development. These activities are supported by R&D carried out by a highly skilled, experienced and innovative technical staff.

Global FIAıs strength lies in its responsiveness to customer needs, and the large network of business alliances that it has established. To this end, Global FIA has committed itself to high quality and innovative products and solutions.

"For 30 years, I worked in industry and was frustrated by the lack of commercially available resources for automated process analysis using flow-based technologies - so when the opportunity came my way, I decided to establish a company that would meet this need."
