Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Established in 2003
What is your primary product or service?
FlexMation makes custom equipment to help manufacturers do what they do. Better. We specialize in manual production areas, with the goal of improving safety, productivity, employee wellbeing, or material flow. Our passion is custom designed workstations/workcells, material handling systems, flow racks, process enclosures, and lean visual management equipment. Component lines include Bosch Rexroth Aluminum Framing and Conveyors, UNEX Picking and Parts Storage, Orgatex Lean Visual Management Tools, Ergotron Technology Products, and more. In addition to custom work, we carry many DIY parts on our eStore: http://shop.flexmation.com
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Unlike some of "the other guys," we don't just push product. We don't carry hundreds of different product lines... We've got a very niche market and we're darn good at it. Rather than looking for a quick sale, we see ourselves as your allies. Partners. We work with you to uncover the "why" behind your project, offering helpful suggestions and custom-tailoring our equipment solutions to meet your specific needs.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We've been in Burnsville since our founding, and have been steadily growing.

What type of payments do you accept?

Who owns your company or runs daily operations?

What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
