Flinn Scientific, Inc., based in Batavia, Illinois, is a comprehensive multi-line supplier of manufactured and purchased science education products and curricula. FlinnÍs products and curricula, many of which are proprietary and sold under the ñFlinn Scientificî brand, are distributed to high school and middle school science teachers throughout the United States. Since its founding in 1977, as a laboratory chemicals supplier to high school science teachers, Flinn has continuously expanded its product lines and markets and has developed an intensely loyal, growing base of science teacher customers across all 50 states. In 1977, the company was founded as a family-owned and åoperated business by a mother, father and two sons. The family established the tone and culture for the company. Their entrepreneurial spirit has been the basis for every process and system in the company. The companyÍs success in serving the science education market is reflected in the results of surveys conducted by Education Market Research, an independent research company. For the past 11 years, Flinn Scientific has repeatedly earned the distinction of being rated in surveys as the #1 ñmost preferred science supplierî by science educators nationwide. In the fall of 2014, the Flinn brothers retired and the company was acquired by Windjammer, a private equity group. Recognizing Flinn ScientificÍs strong brand recognition for outstanding quality and unparalleled service, Windjammer is committed to building upon the solid foundation created by the Flinn family. Newly enacted initiatives have already been successful in growing the business since 2014. The ongoing success of Flinn Scientific has created new opportunities for talented people interested in joining a company on its path of long-term sustainable growth.
