China, India, ailand and the U.S. e company has five
business groups, including manufacturing, engineering
and construction, pipes and tubes, steel technology and
Fatek machine tools.
Fatek (Factory Automation Technology) was established
in 1994 as a subsidiary to manage the manufacturing
process for the full line of Femco CNC machine tools.
Femco USA is the North American sales and distribution
center for these machines.
While it considers itself more of a systems integrator
than a machine supplier, the
company produces medium to large
horizontal and vertical lathes, wheel
turning lathes, horizontal boring and
milling machines, and multi-axis
machining centers, and its machines
are used primarily in aerospace,
automotive, oil and railway applica-
tions. Visit short.productionma-
