Hughes-Primeau Controls, Inc Engineered Flow Solutions started as Hughes and Associates in 1986. It was started by Henry Hughes in his home. The company started by selling ultrasonic level instrumentation and electric heat tracing. The company remained a small “One Man Band” until 1996 when John Primeau purchased majority interest in the company. At this point the company named was changed to Hughes-Primeau Controls and moved from Henry’s house to an office in Chesterland, Ohio. The company was able to add the instrument lines and grew modestly. In 2000 Paul Krause purchased Henry Hughes' share of the business. At this point the company was able to add significant product lines and people in 2001 and 2002. The company moved into new offices in the Alpha Park complex in Cleveland, Ohio. Hughes-Primeau grew significantly and in the mid 2000’s added the Thermon Heat Tracing product line and the Masoneilan Control Valve line. These two lines have become the number one and two product lines today. In 2011 Paul Krause purchased John Primeau’s share in the business and now owns Hughes-Primeau Controls.
