New Flex Generation Inc. and A1 Industrial Covers have established a joint venture of sorts. Rubino says he has no financial interest in Johnson’s company and considers himself Johnson’s mentor rather than partner. A1 has helped Johnson produce more than 200 Flex Nimbo harnesses and educated him on the ins and outs of manufacturing. Rubino, who has provided Johnson access to his machinery and laborers for two years, says “I could see it before it was fully developed. I could see the future in it from day one.”
