When we started Standard Fluids, our goal was to create a hub of industry-leading expertise that is accessible, nimble, and deeply rooted in the fire protection community. To do that, you need the right people in the room.
That is why we are thrilled to officially welcome Nick Johnson to the team as our new Technical Manager.
More Than Just a New Hire
If you’ve spent any time in the space over the last decade, Nick is likely a familiar face. He joins us after more than ten years at 3M, where he served as a research engineer. During his tenure, Nick was known as a leader who shaped the industry.
From leading global applications engineering for 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid to representing the industry on international standards bodies like NFPA and ISO, Nick’s technical fingerprints are all over the standards we use today.
Why This Matters for You
By joining our “lean and mean” team, Nick is helping us move faster. For our clients, this means:
- Direct Access to Expertise: No more waiting weeks for a technical answer. You’re talking directly to the person who helped build the testing labs.
- Innovation in the Heartland: Nick will spearhead our quality assurance and innovation efforts from our lab in Minnesota.
“Like Going Home”
Nick’s debut with Standard Fluids will be at FSSA 2026. For him, returning to this circle of professionals is more than just a business trip. In his own words, “For me, coming back to FSSA feels like going home.”
Please join us in welcoming Nick to the family. We can’t wait for you to see the innovation and agility he brings to your next project.
