In just under a half-century, FLOS has grown from a small dealer to a leading supplier of fasteners and small technical products. The latest milestone is the move in mid-2009 to the modern, spacious new building in the Flight Forum Industrial Estate near Eindhoven Airport. FLOS takes its name from André Flos. In 1963 he established a business under the name André Flos Technische Handel en Agenturen BV. In the beginning, most of the sales were made from the salesman’s sample case. As the years passed, both the success and the product range grew. The old building on the Provincialeweg in Veldhoven had to be modernised and expanded on a regular basis to keep up with the growth. The organisational structure was also changed numerous times. In 2005, all the activities were bundled into a single organisation with a clear business profile: FLOS Creative Component Solutions, a name that stands for efficient, customer-oriented total solutions.
