FLURO.

About us

FLURO stands for reliability, precision, and tailor-made solutions in the field of spherical plain bearings and rod ends. As a specialized provider of these niche products, we offer a considerable range of standard parts – and beyond that, the possibility to realize special fabrications exactly according to customer specifications. We also implement exceptional dimensions or individual requirements efficiently and precisely.

Our customers can rely on the highest quality, short reaction times, and the greatest possible flexibility in development, manufacturing, and service. They benefit not only from our technical know-how but also from practical advice and solution-oriented support.

Our History

As a second-generation family business, we now look back proudly on a 50-year company history that began in a garage:

With the founding of Martin Höhn GmbH, brothers Martin and Ernst Höhn simultaneously laid the foundation for FLURO-Gelenklager GmbH: In addition to manufacturing precision parts, the two early on pursued the goal of producing and distributing their own product – and found what they were looking for: their own product line of spherical plain bearings and rod ends was to be created. Founded in Fluorn and Rosenfeld, the company name FLURO-Gelenklager GmbH was born.

Founding of Martin Höhn GmbH by Martin and Ernst Höhn. Manufacture of precision parts (turning, milling, grinding)

Founding of FLURO-Gelenklager GmbH. Production of spherical bearings and rod ends for FLURO.

Rapid growth necessitates several business expansions. The two companies are growing from 640 m2 to almost 2000 m2.

The second generation: Reiner Höhn will join the family business in the fall. With innovative ideas and technical expertise, he will, among other things, drive the development of product development and advise customers worldwide on special applications. At the same time, he will promote in-house training.

The FLURO brand is becoming increasingly established on the global market. The product portfolio is complemented by hydraulic rod ends and a motorsport series.

A new construction phase creates space for the fully automated logistics center. At this time, the two family businesses together employ around 100 people.

The four-story administration building is occupied.

Generational change: Reiner Höhn becomes the sole managing partner of both companies. The new 3,600 m2 production hall is occupied. The two companies expand to a total of more than 10,000 m2.

To secure their long-term competitiveness in the global market, both companies are focusing on consistent digitalization and intelligent solutions in line with Industry 4.0. New structures are being created in planning and organization, product development is being driven forward with ambitious goals, production processes are being further optimized, and service is being continuously expanded.

Through the targeted expansion of research and development, the company is launching a groundbreaking new product with FLUROGLIDE MEDIA SOLID.

Company founder Martin Höhn is leaving both companies after almost 50 years.

Our Values

Our company history shows that reliability, stability, and a trusting cooperation form the foundation for corporate success. Preserving what is good, being open to new things, and having the strength to put new ideas into practice reflect our daily actions and secure our sustainable success – today and in the future.

Five strong values accompany us in everything we do. They not only shape the collaboration within our team, but also the relationships with our partners. These values are the key to our success and the basis for long-term and trusting partnerships that we look back on with pride.

RELIABILITY

Reliability is the cornerstone of our work. For 50 years, we have focused on consistent quality, precise processes, and transparent communication – for satisfied customers, trusting partnerships, and a work environment where everyone involved can rely on each other. These standards ensure that our customers receive exactly what they expect – on time and of the highest quality.

STABILITY

For us, stability means consistency and security. With clearly structured processes, long-term partnerships, and a future-proof approach, we offer our customers and employees a strong foundation. In this way, we ensure continuous growth and sustainable collaboration that you can build on.

COURAGE

For us, courage means being open to new things and constantly questioning the status quo. We preserve what has proven successful while consciously exploring new paths. With this attitude, we actively drive innovation and create space for progress without losing sight of our values.

CREATIVE POWER

Our creative power is our ability to turn ideas into reality. We act decisively, tackle challenges head-on, and collaboratively implement solutions that create genuine added value. With our expertise, we drive progress and advance innovation. Our creative power is the engine that keeps new ideas flowing and continuously leads us to better results.

TOGETHER

For us, working together means more than just collaboration – it's the foundation of our daily actions. We foster open communication, respect different perspectives, and work together to find solutions. Every contribution is valued. Solidarity and mutual support enable us to master new challenges together and drive the company's success.

“What sustains a company is not just processes and products, but a team that sticks together. For me, cohesion and mutual support make all the difference.”

OUR SUCCESS FACTORS

The trust of our customers commits us to the highest precision, uncompromising quality, and a reliable delivery performance.

For us, precision means the highest accuracy, and we measure every step of our daily actions against this standard. A modern machine park as well as the use of the latest manufacturing technologies, robots, and individual automation solutions create the ideal basis for the highest precision and efficiency.

For us, quality means fully meeting the requirements and expectations of our customers – and in some places, even exceeding them. Quality assurance is therefore not a downstream process, but an integral part of the entire process – from the inquiry to delivery. In doing so, we rely exclusively on high-precision measuring and testing equipment as well as the most modern testing technology, such as:

  • Tensile/compression testing machine Zwick Roell Z100 for material testing
  • Dynamic tensile/compression testing machine Zwick Roell for service life determination and material testing
  • 3D coordinate measuring machine Zeiss PRISMO Navigator – with high-speed 3D curve scanning for the precise recording of dimensions, geometries, forms, and positions
  • Height measuring devices of the Micro-Hite series
  • Hardness tester from Wolpert for determining mechanical properties
  • MarSurf XCR 20 combined measuring station for the analysis of contours and surface roughness

Our delivery performance is based on efficient stock-keeping and a global dealer network. With careful inventory management, we ensure that standard products are available at all times and can be delivered quickly. Our international dealer network enables us to deliver reliably and on time worldwide, even over long distances.
