Flex’s message about Lake County is pretty straightforward: this is a place where they can grow, and keep growing. In recent Chicago Tribune coverage of our Big Event, the company points to the things that actually matter for a global manufacturer: access to a deep talent pool, strong partnerships, and a business environment that supports speed and scale….all things that they have successfully tapped into in Lake County.
Lake County’s business assets and high quality of life have allowed Flex to expand its advanced medical manufacturing work, invest in new capabilities like drug delivery technologies, and continue adding jobs. For a company operating at this level, the decisions are deliberate. They go where the conditions are right, which is why Flex is such a strong example of business success in Chicagoland. It’s not just that the company came here—it’s that they’ve continued to invest, expand, and build over time.
