The business now known as Flight Bros Pty Ltd was founded in 1915 by Sidney Thomas Flight. Initially the firm was a specialist tooling manufacturer, but also supplied some smaller fabricated products. The business operated from a site at the corner of Forrest Street and South Road, Glandore, South Australia. Sidney was killed in a motor vehicle accident in 1946.

In the 1940's Sidney's sons, Herbert Thomas Holmesby Flight (Herb), and Lionel Percy James Flight (Bill) joined the business. This was the partnership that became known as the original "Flight Brothers". Whilst still being toolmakers the business changed direction into larger volume manufacturing and fabrication. The business moved to its current site in Edwardstown in 1953. The primary manufacture at this time was pressed metal components for the whitegoods and automotive industries.

In the late 1950's - early 1960's Herb's sons Sidney Herbert Flight, and Graham James Flight joined the business. The firm continued to expand and increased its capabilities to include zinc electro-plating and added extra fabrication capability. At this point in time Flight Bros commenced manufacture some of their proprietary product lines including Blind and Awning components and quick action toggle clamps.

During this time extra land was purchased adjacent to the original site, and the factory and offices were expanded.. In 1975 the partnership ceased and Flight Bros Pty Ltd was incorporated.

In 1981 Graham Flight purchased the company from the rest of the family.

In the 1970s - 1980s Flight Bros developed its range of Abattoir equpment, and commenced manufacturing Communication Towers and Masts.

In 1986 Graham's son, Dwayne Flight joined the business and in 1999 purchased the company.
