Calvary Industries has shaped much of Austin Morelock’s career, but his professional background also includes experience outside the family business. After graduating from university, he worked at Groupon in Chicago before joining Calvary Industries as an outside chemical sales representative in Dallas, Texas. He spent a couple of years in that role and later returned to Cincinnati, where he was born and raised. Upon returning, he became Director of Sales and Marketing, and his responsibilities eventually led him to the role of CEO and President. Austin has been with Ohio-based Calvary Industries for more than 13 years. In 2021, he became CEO and President of the family-owned company. In 2025, he led the business through a dividend recapitalization with Mason Wells while continuing to serve in his executive role. Mason Wells is a Midwest-based private equity firm that has raised $2.4 billion in aggregate across five independent buyout funds. Calvary Industries was founded in 1983 by Austin’s father, John Morelock, Jr. The company formulates and produces blended process chemicals used by industrial customers. These products include industrial cleaners, conversion coatings, metalworking fluids, and waste treatment chemistries. Calvary Industries also blends, packages, and processes customer-owned products in accordance with client specifications. Its materials are shipped in containers ranging from one gallon to bulk tank trucks, enabling the company to support a range of order sizes and operational needs. The company has two manufacturing locations. Its headquarters are in Fairfield, Ohio, and it also operates a facility in Pineville, Louisiana. The Company also works with third-party distribution locations in California and Mexico.
