Flinchbaugh-Kurtz Company Management
Since its beginnings in York, Pennsylvania in 1936, The Flinchbaugh Company, Inc. had only two generations of ownership in almost 70 years – fostering a legacy of continuity and stability.
In February 2005, Gregory Jenkins and Kurt Weber – businessmen local to the York, Pennsylvania area acquired The Flinchbaugh Company and have embraced this legacy and the qualities of the company, while systematically modernizing it.
Gregg and Kurt recognized that the future lay in continuous improvement and systematic investment to focus on the changing demands of customers. The business and its resources have been overhauled with this philosophy in mind, and capital resources are aligned with the needs of strategic customers.
In December 2006, a new era began when The Flinchbaugh Company acquired another respected machining company in York County, G. Kurtz Industries, which had a fully complementary customer base. The new company created is doing business as Flinchbaugh-Kurtz Company and combines the best experience and state-of-the-art equipment from both companies at a modern facility in Manchester, Pennsylvania.
Gregg and Kurt are both day-to-day hands-on owners, whose career experience influences the company in many ways. Both are committed to the objective of satisfied customers, who can completely trust Flinchbaugh-Kurtz Company for production and timely delivery of high quality products.
