Flintstone was formed in 2012 by Andrew Clayson. The Company’s ambition was to simplify the way mooring systems were installed, tensioned and replaced. In September 2016 the company was majority acquired by the MacGregor Group, part of Cargotec, a Helsinki stock exchange quoted industrial group.
Flintstone is focused on a ‘life of field’ approach to the market, offering not only the top to bottom solution for mooring systems but also specialising in solving life extension challenges.
No matter what mooring system challenge you face Flintstone-MacGregor can provide both technical and commercial solutions to the problem.
Flintstone’s ethos of Challenge, Improve, Deliver ensures that it never loses sight of the need for continual improvement.
To do this Flintstone challenges itself and conventional industry practice.
Innovation needs to be practical and deliverable; the Company’s track record speaks for itself.
