About Flexal
Flexal Metallproduktion GmbH & Co. KG is a manufacturer of flexible metal hoses (goosenecks) based in Hemer, North Rhine-Westphalia. The company produces goosenecks and flexible tubes in steel, stainless steel, brass and aluminium – from single pieces to large-scale series – and machines all end connections in-house, including threaded end fittings in all common thread sizes as well as special solutions such as microphone heads, connector plugs or pins. The high level of in-house production depth includes in-house flexible hose production, machining in the company's own turning shop, surface finishing through painting, electroplated surfaces as well as shrink and textile covers, and the assembly of complete modules. Fields of application include communication technology and microphones, fiber optic technology as well as lighting and lamps, medical technology, metrology, smartphone and tablet holders and other industrial applications. Founded in 1917, the family-owned company produces 100% in Germany and supplies customers in 28 countries on four continents.

Materials and Processes
Steel springs
Steel springs offer high strength and good temperature resistance for flexible metal hoses.
Stainless steel (corrosion-resistant steel)
Stainless steel springs provide high strength and very good corrosion and temperature resistance.
Brass
Brass profile wires and bars are corrosion-resistant and can be shaped with precision.
Aluminium
Aluminium bars can be processed faster and more easily and are suitable for simple to highly complex applications.
Painting
Paint finishes shape the surface, allow coloring in the desired color and improve corrosion protection.
Electroplated surfaces
Electroplating with e.g. nickel, chrome or brushed nickel enhances technical protection and visual quality.
Shrink and textile tubing
Shrink tubing protects against mechanical stress, textile covers offer visual and tactile enhancement.
