Flexpoint Sensor Systems (FLXT) was founded in 1995 to develop thick film sensing technology for the automotive industry.

In 1995, Flexpoint was a Sensitron company and became part of the operations of Micropoint, Inc. through a merger in April 1998.

Soon after, Flexpoint's principal members saw a potential application for the more sophisticated Bend Sensor in "smart" airbag development. They trademarked the new technology as Bend Sensor.

Flexpoint will continue to produce the Bend Sensor for other applications, including those in the medical, industrial controls, consumer products and toy industries among others, at its 14,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Draper, Utah.

The company is also developing a line of products that will be widely available through manufacturer's representatives, and online at this site.
