Flow International Corporation is the world leader in the development and manufacture of ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) waterjet technology, and a leading provider of robotics and assembly equipment. Flow provides technologically advanced, environmentally-sound solutions to the manufacturing and industrial cleaning markets.

Flow's roots date back to the early 1970s, when former research scientists from Boeing founded Flow Research. Their mission was to develop new businesses based on advanced technologies. The first technology commercialized by that company was the use of an ultrahigh-pressure waterjet as an industrial cutting tool. Flow later invented, patented, and perfected the world's first abrasive waterjet system to cut hard materials up to 12 inches thick.
