The Freeman Brothers set the wheels in motion back in 1972 building an industrial distribution centre for cutting and grinding wheels. With only one press and three ovens Flexovit pressed it’s first wheel in the autumn of September 1978 in Campbellfield Melbourne Australia.

Now 35 years later the plant is part of Saint-Gobain’s global network, producing world class products and investing in the future utilising the latest manufacturing process and practices.
