Our History
Electri-Flex Company was founded in 1955 by Harold Kinander, Sr. Electri-Flex has always maintained its presence in Roselle, Illinois.
The humble beginnings started in a 2,100 square-foot renovated chicken hatchery. Electri-Flex’s first move was in 1956 to a 4,000 square-foot abandoned woodworking shop down the street from the hatchery. Later that year, a third move was orchestrated to a 21,000 square-foot facility in the same neighborhood.
Growth was forever part of Electri-Flex’s success! In 1968, a new 80,000 square-foot building was constructed nearby. By 1978, the building was expanded to 120,000 square feet, and in 1989, an additional 35,000 square feet was added to accommodate the positive growth of a family-owned business. In 2005, Electri-Flex built a 64,000 square foot distribution center next door to headquarters. In 2013 expanded manufacturing to a 57,000 square foot building that concentrates on unjacketed products.
Today
In 2025, marking seven decades of success, Electri-Flex expanded its footprint to a new and larger distribution center. This expansion marks the fourth building, with all four totaling over 350,000 square feet and all located along Central Avenue in Roselle, IL, within just one- and one-half miles of each other. These facilities encompass office, manufacturing, and warehouse space. The new Distribution Center spans 78,000 square feet, which is 25% larger than the previous facility. As the company continues to scale its operations, this strategic move underscores its long-term vision for growth, customer satisfaction, and continued leadership in the Industry.
Electri-Flex continues to operate as a third-generation family business.
