Flextech, Inc is pleased to announce that we have been appointed as an Approved Fabricator for medical, defense and industrial markets by Zotefoam’s Global Approved Partner Program. The appointment strengthens our mutual ability to support customers in medical, defense and industrial markets, where material selection, fabrication quality and repeatable performance are critical to the quality and reliability of finished components.
Flextech, Inc. based in St Louis Park, Minnesota is a specialized foam fabricator, experienced in the design, development and manufacture of custom-engineered foam components. The company’s capabilities include skiving, die cutting, lamination, compression molding, vacuum forming and encapsulation molding, supporting critical applications across medical, defense and personal protection markets.
With a focus on medical applications, the partnership provides our medical customers in North America with a clear route to specialized fabrication support for components used in products such as orthopedic supports and bracing components, medical support and positioning, wearable medical device housings and medical device packaging.
Through the partnership, Flextech will also support defense-related personal protection markets by providing components to military, tactical and law enforcement customers, where safety, comfort, durability and reliable in-service performance are mission-critical.
Additionally, Flextech supports industrial markets by providing custom-fabricated or thermoformed insulation components, gaskets and seals, protective packaging and case inserts.
Jason Ross, Sales Director for North America at Zotefoams, said:
“In medical component design, materials must be selected and fabricated with a clear understanding of how the finished part will be used, whether that involves patient contact, patient positioning during medical procedures, wearable monitoring or packaging applications.
“Flextech brings the type of material understanding, fabrication capability and application focus we require within the Global Approved Partner Program. The company’s experience in medical foam components, alongside relevant capability in personal protection and industrial applications, gives Zotefoams customers in North America, as well as international medical and personal protection markets, a clearer route to specialist support where performance, consistency and service matter.
“This appointment is about building an approved network around the industries and applications where the right fabrication partner can make a meaningful difference.”
Our recently launched Global Approved Partner Program provides a structured framework for working with select fabricators, distributors and specialist partners across Europe, North America and Asia. It is designed to strengthen service delivery across markets and applications, giving customers a clear and reliable route to partners that meet our stringent technical and commercial standards.
Flextech’s appointment reflects Zotefoams industry-led approach to partner selection. By working with specialist fabricators in priority sectors, the program is designed to help customers access the right combination of material performance, fabrication knowledge and regional support.
Chris Stewart, Director of Sales at Flextech, Inc. added:
“We have been a proud distributor and fabricator of Zotefoams unique materials for 33 years. Being appointed to the Global Approved Partner Program is a natural and exciting next step for us. We look forward to developing new applications for new customers and expanding our reach using Zotefoams materials. We fully expect this partnership to benefit our customers, Flextech and Zotefoams, well into the future.
“Our technical sales and R&D teams work closely with customers in the medical device, defense and industrial markets to develop custom-foam components that meet defined requirements for fit, function and consistency. Being recognized as an Approved Fabricator creates a clearer platform for that work and strengthens our ability to support customers using Zotefoams materials in North America and beyond.
“Zotefoams material expertise and Flextech’s fabrication capabilities are well-aligned – particularly in medical, defense and industrial applications, where early collaboration and precise execution are essential.”
The announcement marks the latest North American milestone for Zotefoams Global Approved Partner Program, furthering our ambition to work more closely with specialist partners across priority application areas.
