NICK KENNEDY
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Nick Kennedy is the CEO of Flex Machine Tools, Air-tow Trailers, and Flex Real Estate. He started his involvement with Flex Machine Tools, a contract manufacturer and machine solutions provider, as a teenager, welding water can brackets for military vehicles and working in sales during college breaks. After graduating from Bowling Green State University, he served in the Army’s Special Ops Aviation Regiment, returning to civilian life in 2015 to take over his grandfather’s company (Flex Machine Tools) and purchased the real estate in which it resided.
Nick invested in the space in which his company operated, breaking ground on a brand new, state-of-the-art facility in 2019 and further expanding the facility in 2021. A modern facility has allowed Flex to attract talented employees, giving them a space to be proud of, and to invite customers to foster professional relationships.
In 2022, Nick acquired Air-tow trailers (Flex Trailers), expanding into a new sector within the manufacturing industry. His experience and determination drove Air-tow Trailers to double their revenue in the first year of ownership.
At the beginning of 2024, Nick recruited Andrew Hannah, an experienced real estate professional, to create a dedicated real estate team to manage his corporate real estate assets and investment properties. This move added the ability to professionally analyze, acquire, manage, and dispose of real estate assets owned by Nick and partners. Flex Real Estate consists of five committed employees, managing a growing portfolio, and continuously seeking their next acquisition.
Today, the Flex companies have grown from 8 employees in 2015 to a thriving team of over 150 dedicated employees.
In his free time, Nick regularly attends early morning workouts alongside his wife Ashley. He enjoys snowboarding with family and attending the sporting events of his three children, Weston, Warren, and Vanna.
Nick’s goals are fueled by his relentless ambition and the team he has built around him. Constantly seeking his next achievement, he is always willing to go above and beyond to turn his vision into reality.
