WE WERE RAISED IN MANUFACTURING.

FMS was founded in 2002 by US NAVY Veteran, Chuck Thomas. With a family heritage woven by cotton mills, manufacturing plants, and fab shops- we were not only made for this industry, it made us who we are.

After our founder’s early years in the capital equipment industry, he had a vision for offering a line of machine tools that were competitive in the market- not only in price, but performance. At FMS, we stand by our work and our machines. When we get up and go to work every day, we see these faces (photo) and feel their no-excuse work ethic in our veins.


WE’RE ON YOUR TEAM.

We will never claim to be perfect or that we are right fit for every person or every company. We have customers around the country that continue to buy our machinery because we are more committed to getting them what they need versus pushing something on them that benefits us. Whether you know what you want or need a partner to help you through the buying process, our team is happy to assist you.

Beyond machinery, FMS seeks to be a long-term partner that provides fabricators with pre-purchase site inspections, recommendations on machine shop setup, and ongoing maintenance.
