COMPANY HISTORY
Founded in 1985 FMG has become the "premier" pump remanufacturer. Consistently providing the semiconductor industry with the highest level of service and vacuum pump rebuilds and repairs. In 1985, FMG purchased the property that our present plant is on. This included 20,000 sf of production space and 10,000 sf of warehouse space. Since then this property has been customized for the rebuilding of large quantities of vacuum pumps. FMG has future plans to expand this to 35,000 sf of production space and 20,000 sf of warehouse space. Our number one priority has always been quality and to get the customer back on line as quickly as possible, no matter what it takes.
