Flexcon Celebrates 50 Years of Business in Europe

Flexcon, the preferred provider of innovative coatings, film laminations, and functional technologies, is proud to announce that they are celebrating 50 years of business in Europe.  

Flexcon’s European presence was established in Weesp, Netherlands in 1974. In 1997 a manufacturing facility was opened in Glenrothes, Scotland to better serve the European market as Flexcon expanded globally.  

"Flexcon's presence in Europe has been a pivotal part of our global growth strategy,” shares Aimee Peacock, Chief Executive Officer. “Since establishing our first European site in Weesp, we've been able to serve our European customers with innovative products. Our commitment to quality, sustainability, and employee well-being has allowed us to thrive in the European market, adapting our products and processes to meet the unique needs of various industries across the continent."  

Flexcon Europe’s history reflects the broader evolution of Flexcon Global, growing from a small operation founded in Massachusetts, USA in 1956, to more than 12 locations globally. The goal has always been to offer exceptional customer support, and the delivery of reliable products.  

“Our employees are at the heart of our company. We look forward to celebrating this milestone with our Flexcon team,” shares James Slaughter, Chief Human Resources Officer. “We are pleased to welcome some of our founding team members to the events we have planned. Their presence is a testament to the dedication and relationship our employees have with Flexcon. These events are an opportunity to reminisce and share stories from the past and celebrate the future.”

The company will be celebrating the anniversary across both locations in the upcoming weeks.
