FlackTek serves a global market with its U.S.-made industrial equipment for mixing and processing.
LANDRUM, S.C.—FlackTek™, a maker of high-velocity mixing and processing equipment, is reaffirming its commitment to American manufacturing.
With more than 25 years of experience, FlackTek has built a reputation for engineering precision materials processing equipment that delivers fast, uniform, bubble-free results without the need for blades or cleanup. Its proprietary bladeless technology, which uses dual asymmetric centrifuge, supports such industries as aerospace, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and energetics, according to a company release.
Manufacturing at a state-of-the-art facility in Colorado, FlackTek serves customers across North America, Europe, and other international markets. Its U.S.-based manufacturing model is said to allow for tight quality control, rapid innovation, and dependable supply chain performance.
“American engineering and manufacturing has always been at the heart of FlackTek’s operations,” said Matt Gross, CEO of FlackTek, in the release. “It allows us to maintain strict quality control, drive innovation, and meet the needs of customers worldwide.”
FlackTek’s domestic production also ensures shorter lead times and greater responsiveness, even as global logistics remain unpredictable. The company said it maintains a lead time of just four to six weeks for standard machines, significantly faster than the industry average of eight to 20 weeks. In addition, more than 90 percent of FlackTek’s components are reported to be sourced locally within 30 miles of its Colorado facility.
“While many manufacturers in the industrial equipment sector rely on global supply chains—often sourcing parts from overseas—FlackTek’s hyperlocal approach reduces risk, increases supply chain resilience, and supports regional economic growth,” the release stated.
Aided by an in-house team of engineers and materials specialists, FlackTek offers expert support, consultation, and customized solutions to help manufacturers solve complex processing challenges. FlackTek’s dedication to innovation, service, and long-term reliability continues to set it apart in a competitive global marketplace, the company said.
The company is known for its namesake product, The FlackTek™, which includes a high-speed planetary mixer, supplies, and accessories for all scales of needs ranging from R&D to production, in-depth training, and world-class technical support and service.
Design and manufacturing work for the FlackTek™ is performed in the U.S., in a state-of-the-art facility located outside of Boulder, Colorado. There, the company creates what it calls “the most advanced planetary mixers on the market” as it leverages decades of materials processing knowledge and sources the highest quality componentry.
“FlackTeks are designed, built, and supported by people who know how to use them,” the company said.
