Industries’ dedication to finding solutions to the challenges
facing our customers emerges from the vision of the company’s
founders, Jim and Tom Flanagan.
Today,
the company is a world-class manufacturer of aerospace and
land-based gas turbine components marketed around the world,
however, our modest beginning was in producing handcrafted
ornamental copper bowls and jewelry. Using the basement
of their parents’ home as their first “Factory”, Tom handled
the business details while Jim supervised a team of veterans
turned craftsmen. A 1946 newspaper article from that time
credits much of the company’s success to the individualized
attention given to each customer and quoted Tom as saying,
“We try to give people what they want.”
Though
hammers have been replaced by state of the art machine tools,
the philosophy of total customer satisfaction established
by our founders over five decades ago remains as the cornerstone
of our business.
Now,
as the second generation meets the challenges and changing
needs of the future, we pay homage to the rich history and
strong values established by Jim and Tom. Embracing this
honesty and dependability, superior quality and exceptional
customer service, we continue our commitment to exceed our
customer’s expectations. Flanagan Industries’ reputation
for excellence stands strong yesterday, today and tomorrow.
