What Flexa does

Flexa GmbH & Co Produktion und Vertrieb KG is a family-owned German manufacturer of cable protection systems, headquartered in Hanau-Steinheim and operating continuously since 1947 (originally as Steinheimer Metallschlauch Fabrik; under Stenger family ownership since 1956). The company designs and produces plastic and metal protective conduits (Schutzschläuche), matching connector components (Anschlusstechnik), the ROHRflex tubing clamp systems, energy chains (Energieführungsketten), and suction/transport hose systems, backed by proprietary expertise in winding, coating, and braiding of materials. Its catalog spans over 4,000 SKUs, supported by more than 4,000 downloadable 3D CAD models and certifications including DIN EN ISO 9001, UL 1660/CSA C22.2 No.227.2.1-14, and UL 514/B CSA C22.2 No. 18.3-12.

The company serves 11 industrial verticals (sensor technology, railway, automation and robotics, machine construction, medical technology, renewable energy, e-mobility, food, offshore, electrical installations, and shipbuilding) via a sales-led go-to-market with dedicated teams for Germany and Export, an exclusive partner portal for registered wholesale partners, and a five-language website (DE, EN, FR, IT, ES) supporting distribution across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and the Middle East. Sub-brands include ROHRflex, FLEXAquick (quick-connect fittings), FLEXA-Med (medical applications), AIRflex, and the 2024-launched ROHRflex PLUS (100% recyclable multi-layer corrugated hose). Pricing is quote-based with no public list pricing; products are sold direct to enterprise customers and through wholesale/distribution channels.

Revenue is generated entirely through hardware sales of cable protection components and modular systems; pricing is opaque and quote-driven. Ownership remains concentrated in the Stenger family (current managing directors: Dipl.-Kfm. Markus Stenger and Assessor jur. Christoph Stenger), with no disclosed external equity, debt issuance, or M&A activity, and the entity operates as a German GmbH & Co KG with a personally liable partner (FLEXA Management GmbH). The headcount band is 101-250 employees; no financial figures are publicly disclosed.
