What Flexotec does
Flexotec GmbH is a privately held German manufacturer and distributor founded in 1999 and headquartered in Epfendorf, Baden-Württemberg. The company develops, produces, and distributes a portfolio of products and systems for the glass industry and glass processing industry, organized around four pillars: shower hardware fittings (the Poseidon brass and Triton stainless steel series, manufactured entirely in-house in Germany), surface protection systems (FlexoTop and ClearShield coatings with related primers, cleaners, and conditioners), shower sealing profiles and complete shower systems (EasyFIT, Poseidon Palace), and digital software (the SmartGlazier suite comprising Design, Connect, and Web-Konfigurator modules, distributed as the official partner for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland).
The company's core technology centers on vertical integration in brass hardware manufacturing (raw material through galvanic finishing), proprietary mechanical features such as a 40mm cone adjustment system supporting up to 25 Nm torque, and the Aqua Stop Pro sealing function certified to ETAG 022 and DIN 18534. On the software side, SmartGlazier provides digital planning, calculation, and ordering workflows that replace manual sketches and disconnected processes for glass processors, glaziers, and installers. The full product portfolio is positioned as a chain of process-oriented measures spanning glass production, processing, finishing, and aftercare.
Flexotec serves glass processors, manufacturers, glaziers, and installers as the primary B2B segments, with secondary reach to demanding end customers via direct online purchase. The business operates through a B2C and B2B e-commerce storefront with manual account registration, partner reseller websites in the Netherlands and other EU markets, and direct distribution of SmartGlazier software in the DACH region. Revenue derives from hardware sales (one-time transactions), surface protection products (one-time purchase with consumable refills), and software (subscription/recurring via the SmartGlazier partner arrangement). The company is managed by Joachim Fischinger and Ben Fischinger and remains founder-owned with no external investors.
