Our innovations

E-Charging Station

One public and 7 additional company-owned e-charging stations are available at FLEXIVA‘s production hall in Weissbach.
The location in Dittersdorf also offers 2 company-owned e-charging stations.
All employees of FLEXIVA can currently charge their e-cars for FREE during their working hours.

Photovoltaic

Energy efficiency is the focus

With the construction of the 2452 m² production hall, we created significantly more space for modern offices and production areas. In addition to optimized production processes, we focus on the efficient use of energy at FLEXIVA. For this reason, we had a 132kW photovoltaic system installed on the roof of the hall.

Windmill

Cooling in summer and heating in winter is done with our reversible heat pump. This is supplied with electricity by our wind turbine, among other things.

Butterfly Meadow

"Saxony is in bloom" is an initiative of the Saxon state parliament. With insect-friendly management, the meadow serves as a habitat for many insect species.
FLEXIVA supports this project with its meadow behind the production hall in Weissbach.

It is important to us to speak the customer‘s language.

For the achievement of shared goals, we have set ourselves the following objectives:

  • Development of solutions and concepts individually according to customer and market requirements, according to the current state of the art
  • Realization of our services with qualified and motivated employees using the latest machines and technologies
  • Selection of suppliers and contractors under the premise of reliable and long-term cooperation

The history of FLEXIVA

3 Friends

It all began in January 1990. Three young engineers didn't want to wait any longer for the "flourishing landscape" and resigned from their VEB combine in Chemnitz. An unbelievable occurance for GDR standards, when considering the uncertainties of that time. The shortage economy quickly helped to fill the order books. The main tasks were the development and implementation of special solutions using programmable logic controllers.

The Years of Travel

The situation changed abruptly with the monetary union. All orders were cancelled and there were no new ones. So all three friends decided to try their luck in the old West German federal states. The main goal was to update their good theoretical knowledge. This worked very well and in mid-1991 they met in Markgröningen, near Stuttgart, in the electrical production (at that time) at facility DÜRR®.

FLEXIVA was born

The opperations manager at the time was impressed by the commitment, diligence and skill of the three engineers. More employees were hired, who then all worked in Markgroningen. In a few months there were around 15 employees and msr-soft GmbH was launched, which became FLEXIVA in 1995.

FLEXIVA is growing up

In 1998 the management decided to buy an old hosiery factory in the same place. The software and robot programming department was established. In 2015, the decision was made to build a new energy-efficient production hall in Amtsberg / Weißbach. Today FLEXIVA employs over 90 people and also has a branch in Darmstadt.

On Tuesday, August 11th, 2020, there was a small surprise party for the managing director for the 30th anniversary of FLEXIVA. The event was originally supposed to take place as part of this year's summer festival, which unfortunately had to be canceled due to Corona.

Our automation manager gave a brief look back at the beginnings and development of the FLEXIVA. What began in an office with 3 people has developed into a growth-oriented company with currently 100 employees, 3 locations, its own wind turbine, several e-charging stations, a fleet of currently 8 company vehicles, a large photovoltaic system and a steadily growing customer base.

"Always oriented towards the market - never stand still."

This attitude of Mr. Hollnagel, the managing director of FLEXIVA, has shaped the company successfully for 30 years now.

We congratulate and say: "Keep it up!"
