ACORN Secures Gold Partner Status with Leading Coupling Manufacturer, Flender
Long established Flender distributor, Acorn Industrial Services Ltd, is celebrating following its notable appointment as a Gold Partner for Flender products.
The recognition as a Gold Partner reflects ACORN’s close working relationship with Flender since their appointment as an authorised distributor five years ago, and will further benefit customers with increased levels of stock, service and technical support.
Flender is a global leader in industrial couplings, combining over 90 years of engineering expertise with a collection of coupling technologies designed to meet application-specific demands. Its products are trusted across industries worldwide for reliability and performance.
This important milestone stands testament to ACORN’s continued investment and drive to be the UK’s most comprehensive coupling specialists. Their ever-expanding range of coupling products now includes two new Flender products into their portfolio - The Flender RUPEX and BIPEX ranges, which complement their existing stocks of the popular N-EUPEX coupling. This substantial investment in Flender products firmly sets ACORN on course to be the largest stockist of coupling products in the UK and will provide customers with fast delivery, greater product choice, competitive pricing and improved supply chain security on a broad range of high-quality couplings, hubs and elements.
With a knowledgeable coupling & drives team on hand to offer technical support and a range of coupling services, ACORN is strengthening its position across a wide range of industries as a trusted partner for customers seeking reliable coupling solutions.
Jason Buck, ACORN’s Power Transmission Product Manager, commented: “Achieving Gold Partner status with Flender is an important step for us and, more importantly, for our customers. It enables us to fulfil a greater number of orders from stock and also allows us to provide a broader range of coupling products to buy online, making it’s even easier for customers to find and purchase the coupling products they need with a simple click and have it delivered the very next day.”
Gavin Stacey, Managing Director at ACORN, said: “This recognition strengthens our ability to support customers operating in demanding industrial environments where reliability, availability and expert guidance matter most. It also reflects our wider commitment to building a coupling division that gives customers access to the products they need, supported by practical advice from a dedicated team.”
Chris Williams, Managing Director at Flender UK comments “ACORN’s achievement of Gold Partner status highlights their strategic investment in Flender products and their commitment to delivering greater choice, availability and support for customers. Their expanding coupling portfolio and knowledgeable team make them a trusted partner for industries where reliability and performance are essential.

Their investment in Flender products and their drive to expand coupling availability across the UK make this recognition well deserved.
