Flex-a-lite® is Still Makin' It in the USA
In
1962, Eddy Davis founded Flex-a-lite with the original "flex fan"
concept, developing the first flexible fan out of hand-cut fiberglass
roofing material. The concept was to create a lightweight fan that would
flatten out at high engine rpm, reducing the drag or load on the
engine, while increasing horsepower.
Eddy's son-in-law, Rainer Willingham invented and patented the first electric fan for Flex-a-lite®
in 1978 and led the company from 1991 through 2006. Fifty years later,
Eddie Davis's granddaughter, Lisa Chissus leads the company with the
same innovative spirit, inventing the now patented Flex-a-fit® radiator sidetank design. That's three generations of innovation at the helm of Flex-a-lite®.
Today, Flex-a-lite® manufacturers a full line of belt-driven and electric fans, transmission and oil coolers, Flex-a-fit®
aluminum radiators, Mojave auxiliary heaters and related components.
Our 75,000 square foot facility includes manufacturing, marketing,
engineering, vacuum forming, metal stamping and product testing lab.
There's a lot of pride and care that goes into every Flex-a-lite® product.
It
is their vision to continue developing performance cooling products that
improve vehicle performance. They have more ideas for new products than
there's time to develop. But before they make a product, they want to make
sure they can offer a true performance cooling solution. They're an
original, not a copy-cat. And after they engineer a new product, you can
bet that they'll be makin' it in the USA.
