High-performance decking manufacturer, Flexiteek International acquires F3 Flexiteek Friesland B.V based in the Netherlands. 

The agreement, signed on the 14th January 2022, will strengthen Flexiteek International's position as the market leader. The newly acquired company will be known as ‘Flexiteek Superyacht’. 

Manufacturing decks for new and refits projects

‘Flexiteek Superyacht’ adds an established fabrication centre using the latest CNC technology to supply the superyacht industry. The business has been fabricating decks for new and refit projects since 2014 and delivers dozens of decks a year. 

In March, work starts on a new 4,500 square meter state-of-the-art factory in the city of Sneek, the Netherlands, enabling them to dramatically increase capacity and offer extensive training facilities. 

New manufacturing operations

The acquisition follows on from the establishment of a new manufacturing operation ‘Flexiteek Marine Products’ in Ostroda, Poland in early 2021. The operation manufactures and supplies panels for the growing OEM market. 

Tomas Gustafsson, Flexiteek’s President and CEO said, "This is an exciting year for Flexiteek. We’ve been delivering decks for over 22 years and partnering with an established business in the superyacht sector, this enables us to focus on customers with every boat type from tenders to superyachts."
