Senior Flexonics Inc
300 East Devon Avenue , Bartlett, Illinois, United States

One hundred years is a long time and Senior Flexonics has had many firsts during the past century. Flexonics was founded in the time when streets were lit with gas lamps. With the advent of the automobile, new drivers and their inevitable accidents not only gave rise to the auto insurance industry, but also the need for safer infrastructure. Streetlamps, needed for safe nighttime travel, had the unintended consequence of a catastrophic explosion when struck by a new driver. Necessity is the Mother of Invention. To solve this hazard Senior Flexonics created a flexible, stainless steel hose that would run through the gas light posts and shut off the gas line if the post was hit by a car. Explosions ceased. This innovation saved lives and property. Fast forward a few decades, the space race was on. Wernher von Braun, the famous rocket scientist, needed durable metal bellows for the Saturn V rocket which was used for the Apollo space program. These giant expansion joints in the rocket booster, eight, ten or twelve feet in diameter, helped bring us to the moon and were designed, prototyped, validated and produced in the Senior Flexonics Bartlett facility.  This commitment to developing solutions continues today as new challenges present themselves.

 Industrial markets all have requirements to meet the challenges set before them. For decades, we have continually invented new products to meet each of their specific and unique constraints. To support the development of these innovations we offer extensive analytical testing capabilities as well as rapid prototyping. These innovations are then validated against physical testing and computer modelling to predict the product’s lifecycle. Once accepted and green lighted for production, our high and low volume manufacturing abilities kick in to produce a wide range of products such as complex bellow assemblies that require forming and high precision machining

Necessity to change – Seeing opportunities, innovating and creating inventions for our customers.

No one knows what the future holds. However, necessity will continue to be the Mother of invention. To prepare for what comes next, Senior Flexonics is gathering purpose-driven talent, leveraging advanced proactive engineering, and collaborating with our customers to create value for all stakeholders. For well over 100 years, Senior Flexonics has developed innovative metal bellows sub-assemblies, tubing and thermal management solutions to meet and/or exceed our customers’ needs and requirements. By applying these competencies to our customers’ challenges, Senior Flexonics has evolved into a multi-industry corporation spanning the globe.
