FLUX France

What FLUX France does

FLUX France S.A.S. is the French regional sales and distribution subsidiary of FLUX-GERÄTE GMBH, a German family-owned industrial pump manufacturer founded in 1950 with the invention of the first electric drum pump in the world. Headquartered in Croissy-Beaubourg, France, the entity serves the French market as part of a group operating seven wholly-owned subsidiaries (Germany, France, USA, India, Netherlands, UK, Thailand) and supplying products to customers in more than 100 countries. FLUX France distributes the group's portfolio of barrel pumps, eccentric screw pumps (VISCOPOWER), drum emptying systems (VISCOFLUX), vertical centrifugal immersion pumps (VERTIFLOW series including F 716 and F 728), pneumatic diaphragm pumps, peristaltic pumps, flexible impeller pumps, flow meters with the FLUXTRONIC electronic analysis system, electric and pneumatic motors, the SAFETEC closed-container kit, and the FLUX-FILL GT semi-automatic gravimetric filling system.

The company's commercial model is B2B industrial direct sales with technical consultation, quote-based configured-to-order pricing, and a service login portal that provides existing customers with technical documentation, operation instructions, spare parts lists, and CE conformity certificates. Revenue mechanics are one-time hardware sales of configured pump equipment, motors, accessories, spare parts, and integrated system solutions, complemented by ATEX/IECEx-certified explosion-proof variants for hazardous-environment applications. The product line is technically differentiated by sealless and modular designs (e.g., the VERTIFLOW F 728 offers flow rates up to 750 l/min with dry-running protection to 600 mm immersion depth), broad material compatibility for aggressive chemicals, and a 99.98% drum emptying rate target on selected models.

FLUX France serves nine vertical end-markets with chemicals, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals flagged as primary segments, and paints and coatings, surface treatment, water treatment, petrochemicals, agriculture, and cosmetics as secondary segments. Distribution is multi-channel through regional subsidiaries, the company website, and an international contact network, supported by LinkedIn, YouTube, XING, Facebook, newsletter, and industry tradeshow engagement (including CFIA Toulouse in September 2026). The parent group is family-owned with no external investors, no public listing, and no disclosed revenue, and is managed by Alexander Geib, Klaus Hahn, and Jürgen Rabenseifner as managing directors of FLUX-GERÄTE GMBH.
