Welcome to Flite

About us

FLITE was created in 2018 to develop the emerging science of surface functionalization into commercial utility at industrial scale. Research leaders around the world have been exploring new surface textures and their effect on ordinary materials. The FLITE team believed that the time had come to take these techniques out of the lab and into industries looking for a better, cleaner and safer way to protect their products. With offices in the United States and Canada, FLITE is led by serial entrepreneurs with more than 100 years of experience. Whether your challenge is in research, commercial products, maintenance and operations, or defense applications, FLITE has something exciting in store.

FLITE scouts the world for great techniques to build industrial
