 |
Facom makes handy tools -- hand tools that is. Having shed its baking machinery and steel foundry ventures, Facom (formerly Strafor Facom) has returned to its core product: hand tools (including pliers, pullers, wrenches, screwdrivers, saws, and ratchets). It also makes power tools, rolling tool cabinets, and lifting equipment for garages. Facom's products serve the automotive, aerospace, electrical engineering, electronics, and offshore industries. The company has 13 manufacturing plants in Europe and the US and 15 sales offices in Asia, Europe, and the US. Facom tools are sold in more than 100 countries through a network of 5,500 distributors. French holding company Fimalac owns the company.
