Plumbing Startup Thrives in Crowded Market with Trusted >B< Press Solution

Background
When Nic Savaglio founded Flo Pro Plumbing in January 2024, he entered one of the most competitive markets in the United States. With over 120 established service plumbing companies operating in the Greater Phoenix area, building a new brand that stood out required more than just skill — it demanded precision, trust, and quality at every touchpoint.

As an owner-operator managing everything from customer service to installations and marketing, Savaglio focused his efforts on creating long-term value through repeat customers, premium products, and reliable service. “I wanted to build a sustainable business,” he said, “one based on relationships, not just transactions.”

“In a commodity-heavy market, when there’s not a differentiator, the quality and support is the differentiator,” Savaglio explains. That’s why every decision — from how jobs are booked to which fittings go behind the drywall — has been made with long-term customer loyalty in mind.

From day one, Flo Pro has gained momentum through a focus on clean installs, clear communication, and intentional product selection. “One thing we take pride in is the customer experience,” said Savaglio. “People might not see the fittings, but they notice when something’s done right.”

Products
Flo Pro Plumbing adopted Conex Bänninger’s >B< Press copper press fittings, sourced through Reece Plumbing, to streamline operations and ensure top-tier reliability on every job. Although many brands offer copper press fittings, >B< Press stood out for its consistent quality and ease of use — especially in residential environments where trust and performance are non-negotiable.

With more than 115 years of experience in fitting innovation, Conex Bänninger brings deep manufacturing expertise and a legacy of reliability that aligns perfectly with Flo Pro’s service philosophy. “There are a lot of copper press products being sold as commodities. But >B< Press isn’t just about price — it’s about trust and adaptability. It’s a product that reflects the same values I’ve built my business around,” said Savaglio.

Performance & Benefits
Conex Bänninger >B< Press fittings gave Flo Pro Plumbing a distinct edge:
● Fast, water-tolerant installs: “With >B< Press, I can install confidently — even when there’s water in the system— allowing me to move on to the next job without delays,” said Savaglio.

● Premium product = premium perception: By choosing high-quality, branded fittings, Flo Pro reinforces its identity as a top-tier plumbing provider — a critical differentiator in a saturated market.

● Scalable partner support: As Flo Pro plans to grow its fleet and team, Savaglio values manufacturers and distributors like Conex Bänninger and Reece Plumbing that offer product knowledge, training, and long-term support.

Marketing Edge
In addition to operational efficiency, product choice has become an extension of Flo Pro’s marketing message. While the company maintains a strong presence on Facebook, Instagram, and Google, it’s the 200+ 5-star reviews that reflect the true customer impact.

“To earn a customer’s trust, every detail matters,” Savaglio shared. “From the moment I walk in the door to the fittings behind the drywall — it all contributes to the experience.”

By investing in a wide array of marketing efforts, Flo Pro sees quality installation as its most consistent conversion driver.

Looking Ahead
Nic’s vision for Flo Pro Plumbing goes far beyond startup success. His goal is to grow the company into a major player in the Phoenix market and beyond — known not just for excellent installs, but for raising the bar across the industry.

Achieving that vision means more than adding trucks or technicians — it requires strategic partnerships with suppliers and manufacturers who can scale with the company and continue to provide the quality, consistency, and support that define the Flo Pro standard.

“The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is attention to detail,” Savaglio said. “That’s what we promise our customers — and that’s why we rely on partners like Conex Bänninger.”
