FDP Presents Scholarships to High School Students in Honor of Longtime Employees FDP Friction Science, as a multi-generation family business, has always promoted the family culture throughout its operations. At the Tappahannock, VA, headquarters and manufacturing facility, FDP is honoring three members of the team who are celebrating 50 years at the company. In honor of their half-century accomplishment, FDP created a scholarship at nearby Essex High School for deserving students.
