About Fluro
FLURO was founded by brothers Martin and Ernst Höhn, who laid the foundation for a company focused on quality, precision, and continuous innovation. Over four decades, FLURO has expanded from a small, family-run enterprise to a leader in the global metalworking industry. Today, the FLURO brand is recognized worldwide, with a presence in over 70 countries, known for delivering high-performance spherical plain bearings and rod ends that meet the diverse demands of various industries.
The company’s journey has been marked by strategic milestones and consistent growth. In 2001, Reiner Höhn joined the management team, bringing a new generation into the leadership and further solidifying the family’s commitment to the brand. By 2006, FLURO had expanded its facilities to include a fully automated distribution center and additional production space, enabling the company to keep pace with growing global demand. This investment in advanced infrastructure was crucial in establishing FLURO as a reliable supplier capable of handling high-output manufacturing with a strong focus on quality control and efficiency.
In 2013, FLURO expanded again, constructing a 3,600-square-meter production hall equipped with cutting-edge machining centers. This facility, operational by 2014, enabled FLURO to enhance its manufacturing capabilities, particularly for high-performance applications like motorsports. The company added specialized high-performance spherical plain bearings and rod ends to its portfolio, tailored for extreme conditions. These advancements, alongside FLURO’s adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies, demonstrate the company’s forward-thinking approach and its dedication to meeting the evolving needs of modern industries.
FLURO products adhere to DIN ISO 12240 standards (formerly DIN 648), ensuring quality, durability, and reliability. The company’s manufacturing processes also integrate digitalization and automation, creating streamlined, efficient production lines capable of meeting large-scale orders with precision.
FLURO’s continuous product development includes innovations like the FLUROGLIDE® technology, a specialized solution that enhances the load-bearing capabilities and extends the lifespan of components in challenging environments. The introduction of FLUROGLIDE® MEDIA SOLID in 2019 marked yet another milestone, bringing an innovative product to market that improves operational resilience in corrosive or high-stress conditions.
As a distributor, PIB Sales is proud to represent a brand like FLURO, whose values of reliability, quality, and adaptability resonate strongly with our commitment to providing only the best to our customers.
