History
The French Engineering Works is a family business that was established in 1918 to manufacture Rock Drill spares for the mining industry in Johannesburg. The founder, Herman Moser, soon expanded into precision tools, including HSS cutting tools for the metal industry. His Swiss origins instilled a pride in quality and precision that persists to the present day.
