SA Tool Electronics was founded in 1973 by Guenter Schmitz, the Managing Director, as a supplier of industrial electronics equipment and related services. In the early years, the company focused on establishing itself in the market and concluded numerous agreements, many of which remain in existence today, with European and USA-based companies.
In 2000, SA Tool Electronics merged with, and began trading under the name of, Flexible Electronic Systems. The product range continued to expand with lower-cost options in motion controls being introduced to offset a weak Rand at the time.
The same year, the company was sold to Streamworks, a listed company, which was taken over in turn by DNA Supply Chains. However, DNA felt that Flexible Electronic Systems did not fit in with its core business, and Guenter Schmitz bought back the company in 2003.
In 2007, shares in FES were sold to long-standing management to comply with new legislation and the Employment Equity Act.
The company currently specialises in system design and integration with the main focus on automation of production plant and machinery including the design and manufacturing of special purpose machinery. An additional focus is the supply of motion control systems, measuring, robotics and sensing devices comprising the relevant hardware, software and system integration.
Flexible Electronic Systems represents a large number of well-known European, American and Eastern manufacturers, and prides itself on the wide variety of quality products, excellent service and fast turn-around time it offers.
