Flexovit: Proudly Australian Since 1978
Flexovit pressed its first wheel in Victoria, Australia on 25th September 1978. Saint-Gobain Abrasives acquired the Flexovit brand in 1998, bringing a wider distribution network with Research & Development specialists. This allowed Flexovit to expand its product portfolio to reach more customers. Flexovit offers a comprehensive range of high performance abrasives solutions for a wide range of processes, such as cutting, grinding, sharpening, blending, finishing and polishing.
On 12th September 2014, Flexovit proudly made the decision to commit to the Australian Made Campaign, supporting the manufacturers and delivering opportunities for Australians. According to the latest data from Roy Morgan, the majority of Australians say they are more likely to buy goods if they are made in Australia. A huge majority (90%) of Australians aged 14+ say they are more likely to buy products made in Australia, up from 88% four years ago. The good news for Australia’s trading partners is that Australians are also more likely to buy goods from most of Australia’s major trading partners than four years ago.
Flexovit regularly invites customers to the dedicated Centre of Excellence for training. The Abrasives Academy Training courses are run by our Application Engineers and designed to promote different levels of competency in safety, use and application. The Centre of Excellence is also where all product testing is conducted to ensure products are manufactured to the highest level of safety and performance. With an emphasis on solution-oriented abrasives, the ethos of Flexovit is to establish effective business partnerships with its customers, through standard or customised high-performance professional grade abrasive products.
Flexovit has become Australia’s favourite wheel, and remains dedicated to delivering solutions to local customers.
