For nearly 30 years, Flocon Inc. has been manufacturing fluid applicators and dispensing systems in Illinois for applications in a wide variety of industries. Flocon’s products are used to dispense paint, lubricants, cleaning solvents, lotions, condiments, fragrance, hair spray and other fluids. Vice president Stephan Ballot attributes the decades of success to the company’s commitment to quality. With a goal of “zero field failures,” Flocon has been dedicated to manufacturing quality products without sacrificing time or cost. According to Ballot, this begins with the product design.

“Developing products that can be assembled is just as important as developing assembly processes that can put the products together,” he says. The idea is to develop products that can be manufactured and assembled in a way that is both cost and time efficient. This extend to the assembly process where semiautomatic, modular lines produce subassemblies that can be transformed into the many variations of a particular product.
