Research and development
We are able to manage research, mechanical engineering, prototyping, testing and ongoing product development. In this sense often customers are looking for a solution rather than a product.
This may involve a unique configuration of existing products, the adaption of an existing system or the creation of new and proprietary systems for sophisticated OEMs, such as the fuel shutoff system shown here. This product was designed and manufactured by us for our OE customer to resolve an engineering challenge they faced. We can interpret your brief, explore abstract concepts, problem-solve and bring a solution back to a reliable production part.
Flexible Drive pride themselves on being easy to deal with and are experts in providing safety solutions to complex problems.
