Senior Flexonics Inc. (Bartlett) | Diversity Employer

Necessity is the Mother of Invention. Innovations are the Descendants.

One hundred years is a long time and Senior Flexonics has had many firsts during the past century. Flexonics was founded in the time when streets were lit with gas lamps. With the advent of the automobile, new drivers and their inevitable accidents not only gave rise to the auto insurance industry, but also the need for safer infrastructure. Streetlamps, needed for safe nighttime travel, had the unintended consequence of a catastrophic explosion when struck by a new driver. Necessity is the Mother of Invention. To solve this hazard Senior Flexonics created a flexible, stainless steel hose that would run through the gas light posts and shut off the gas line if the post was hit by a car. Explosions ceased. This innovation saved lives and property.

Fast forward a few decades, the space race was on. Wernher von Braun, the famous rocket scientist, needed durable metal bellows for the Saturn V rocket which was used for the Apollo space program. These giant expansion joints in the rocket booster, eight, ten or twelve feet in diameter, helped bring us to the moon and were designed, prototyped, validated and produced in the Senior Flexonics Bartlett facility.  This commitment to developing solutions continues today as new challenges present themselves.

Necessity for a Cleaner Environment – Gas & Diesel Vehicles getting Cleaner and More Efficient
Senior Flexonics developed a unique metal bellow to create leak-tight exhaust flex systems instead of the ball joint system, the standard practice at the time. This innovation took up the different motions/movements between the engine and the exhaust system while at the same time helping our customers keep a leak tight exhaust to meet emissions legislation.
