First established in 1985 SFM initially concentrated on the manufacture of bespoke apple and blackcurrant harvesting machinery. The company started working with the fast-evolving Aerospace Industry and in 1997 expanded further into this niche area in both design and manufacturing services (all whilst still growing its agricultural machinery division), the company has grown steadily since and nurtures a bank of design, engineering and support staff at its 4000m2 design and manufacturing facility in the village of Martock – Somerset

A FARO inspection arm offers a range of inspection facilities and reverse engineering.

 

Working from either in-house design office produced or customer provided drawings, the company is well-equipped to undertake conventional or CNC milling, turning, boring & CMM Inspection (batch runs or small quantities) for either test or trial purposes.

The SFM project will consist of 2 initial consultancy days prior to general usability training. The reason for this is to establish current process in more detail so the transition can happen smoothly and as close to the current workflow as possible, what we want to avoid is changing the current culture to much which will have an immediate impact on productivity once live. During the consultancy days we will also be making recommendations of where shop floor terminals will be best utilised and assisting in data transfer from their current system to Redthorn.
