About Flexiteek
Flexiteek is a major name in the world of synthetic teak decking. Founded in 2000, the company quickly grew into a respected player in the marine industry. Flexiteek supplies decking that looks like real teak but is made from high-quality composite materials. This gives you the warm appearance of wood without the intensive maintenance of genuine teak. Flexiteek operates worldwide and supplies more than 200 boatbuilders.
History and Founding of Flexiteek
Flexiteek was founded in 2000 by Anders Wilhelmsen, a Norwegian entrepreneur with a maritime background. He saw an opportunity to develop a new type of deck that would outperform traditional teak. The first generation of synthetic teak quickly became popular due to its strength and low maintenance requirements.
In 2014, the second generation was introduced: Flexiteek 2G. This version was lighter and cooled down faster. Later, the company expanded further through the acquisition of Wilks in the United Kingdom and the opening of a major production facility in Sneek. In 2024, Flexiteek launched the third generation: Flexiteek 3.
Company Philosophy and Mission
Flexiteek focuses on three core pillars: innovation, service, and support. The company continues to invest in new technologies, materials, and internal training. As a result, they can supply synthetic teak decking that performs well and has a long lifespan.
Flexiteek also aims to guide customers in choosing the right solution for their vessel. Boatbuilders, dealers, and yacht owners can rely on full support, from design to installation.
Commitment to Quality and Sustainability
Flexiteek shows that quality and sustainability can go hand in hand. Their production facilities hold certifications such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, which means they follow strict quality and environmental management standards. Flexiteek reuses water during production and recycles waste wherever possible.
Flexiteek 3, the latest generation, is made from bio-attributed PVC, which significantly reduces emissions during production. Flexiteek also collaborates with the World Land Trust: for every 10 square meters of Flexiteek sold, the company donates towards reforestation in vulnerable areas.
Flexiteek’s Expertise
Flexiteek operates in more than 50 countries and works with over 100 distributors. The company has production facilities in Norway, Sweden, Poland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Thanks to this international approach, Flexiteek can support customers worldwide.
Flexiteek supplies decking for sailing yachts, motorboats, tenders, superyachts, and even wellness applications. The company also develops dedicated solutions for the superyacht sector. Through continuous innovation and decades of expertise, Flexiteek has become a trusted name in the marine industry.
Innovation and Technology Behind Flexiteek
Flexiteek produces synthetic teak decking using advanced manufacturing technologies. The planks are welded rather than glued, which ensures strength and watertight seams. High-precision machinery guarantees consistent production of each panel. Afterward, the deck is custom-cut to fit the vessel perfectly.
Recent innovations
The launch of Flexiteek 3 in 2024 marked a major advancement. The material is more sustainable, made from bio-attributed PVC, and features a more realistic wood grain along with new color options.
In 2025, Flexiteek introduced the Tritone Series, consisting of planks with three color tones for a vibrant, natural look. The company also released an ultra-thin 3.5-millimeter version that uses a 3M tape-bonding system, allowing for faster installation and reduced weight. Ideal for lightweight, high-performance tenders.
Advantages of Flexiteek Synthetic Teak
Flexiteek synthetic teak offers numerous benefits. It is lighter than real teak and many alternative synthetic products, which improves vessel performance. The material absorbs less heat and cools down more quickly, making it comfortable to walk on, even in summer.
Maintenance is minimal: regular cleaning with water and mild soap is usually sufficient. The material is stain-resistant and offers excellent non-skid properties, even when wet. Flexiteek decking remains attractive for years and is highly UV-resistant.
In addition, the composite material is completely waterproof and will not splinter. Flexiteek provides a five-year warranty on materials and manufacturing, giving yacht owners peace of mind.
