About Flexi
Flexi is the world-leading German manufacturer of retractable dog leashes, a product category the company invented in 1972. Founded by mechanical engineer Manfred Bogdahn, the first prototype was ingeniously constructed using a spring mechanism from a chainsaw, allowing his family dog Purzel to walk freely whilst remaining safely leashed on Hamburg's streets. The company was officially founded on 1 April 1973 and gained international recognition after presenting at Interzoo 1974. Today, Flexi operates from its headquarters in Bargteheide near Hamburg, where over 300 employees handcraft tens of thousands of leashes daily for export to more than 90 countries worldwide. Every leash undergoes over 100 quality checks before leaving the factory. Flexi's innovation and quality have earned numerous accolades including the prestigious "Brand of the Century" award in 2010, the Red Dot Design Award, and Product of the Year for their Flexi Neon range from Europe's leading dog magazine. The brand offers cord and tape options across multiple size categories, from small dogs up to large breeds weighing over 50kg. UK shoppers can find Flexi retractable leashes at pet retailers and supermarkets.
