General Info

FPI started as a manufacturer of screw machine gear parts for grandfather clocks in Chicago. Bezels and dial faces were needed so spinning and finishing began. FPI moved to California in 1971 and began making brass bed parts from the bezel drop. In 1991 FPI was sold to new management whose main experience was in customer service, distribution and business operations. Customers required more versatility and support. The company began to transform into the service organization it is today with added processes, quicker turn-around and better product. We are still growing and providing excellent customer service. FPI now works with a wide variety of materials, stocking aluminum, brass, copper, crs steel and stainless steel for spinning and a variety of steel bar, plate and tubing products for fabrication, increasing order turn-around. We have internalized most tooling and machining operations, shortening product development time while increasing quality. Also we have developed customer service to include controlled/scheduled processes shortening leadtimes, responding to customer emergencies while maintaining quality.
