Our story

From garage startup to industrial innovation

Founded by brothers Eddie and Aaron, Flexible Assembly Systems was built on a simple promise: provide tailored solutions that truly make a difference for our customers.

As with many small businesses we started with humble beginnings: my brother Aaron and I established the business back in early 2003 and we would use our parents' garage to store and ship our inventory. Eventually we saved up enough money and moved into our own warehouse. Over the years our business model has evolved to focus on the entire MRO (Maintenance, Repair, Operations) needs of our customers. As a result, Flexible has grown into one of the industry's leading industrial supply distributors.

Our product lines have grown over the years but one thing that has stayed the same is our philosophy: we believe in growing our business by providing value added services and products to our customers. We don't believe in a “one size fits all” approach and have not lost sight of who we are and how we got here. We take great pride in understanding who our customers are and offer personalized service architected to meet their individual needs.

Our company name says it all — FLEXIBLE. We truly are flexible and will adapt to meet the needs of our customers.
