Flow's roots date back to the early 1970s, when former research and development scientists from Boeing founded Flow Research. The first technology commercialized by Flow Research was the use of an UHP waterjet as an industrial cutting tool. Soon after, we invented, patented and perfected the world’s first abrasive waterjet system. Since 1974, Flow has delivered over 13,000 waterjet and abrasive waterjet systems to customers in more than 100 countries.
