History
Gonvarri Precision Tubes was born in 2018 after the purchase of Flinsa and its incorporation into the Gonvarri Industries structure as a new steel transformation business line.
1975
Flinsa was officially founded in 1975 as a carbon-steel cold rolling plant. As cornerstone of the process, the company has had since the beginning a reversible 320 mm-wide cold rolling mill in four different heights, several slitting lines and bell annealing furnaces. In 1988, Flinsa took on the task of expanding their range of products thanks to the manufacture of high-frequency welded steel tubes. Among the reasons behind this decision, there is the fact that steel strips are the raw material for tube-making, and we had a huge technical experience in stripping for both the grades supplied by the steel industry and those we could manufacture in our rolling mill process.
2007
The works for the new plant, doubling the size of the company, started.
2011
Flinsa began the manufacture of our new range of stainless steel products, strips and tubes, under the Flinox® registered trademark, as well as laser cutting and drilling.
2013
Gonvauto Asturias is established as a business unit focused on the automotive industry. As customer demands increased, in order to improve the quality and service of the old tube mills, Gonvarri Industries invested in state-of-the-art facilities to meet clients’ expectations and expand operations.
2018
Flinsa became part of the Gonvarri group and, together with Gonvauto Asturias, the new Gonvarri Precision Tubes division was established.
