FM PRODUCTS’ mission statement is: "To provide our customers with direct access to a British manufacturer of a tried and tested, high quality, good value, reliable range of products. Our products will always be about quality and we will be uncompromising in our principles to give a second to none service in terms of packaging, delivery, trade knowledge and after sales support. To continually develop and improve our people, our products and our service and establish lasting relationships with our customers."

To grow and develop a business, from scratch, to be the primary supplier in its chosen market in the UK. A business that supports British based manufacturing businesses, that supplies British made products, that uses primarily British sourced raw materials, that gives fair profit for the owners, provides a good margin opportunity for its customers and is a rewarding place to work for its employees. A business that is considered by its customers to be a trusted ally and business partner.

The creation of FM PRODUCTS has brought together a team of six people.

• The sales and operational side of the business comprises a team of four people with over 76 years combined experience of sales, marketing, customer service and logistics, with businesses such as Unifix, A P Technik, and Wolseley UK, in supplying similar products to customers in the construction and merchant / distribution markets.

• The manufacturing side of the business comprises a management team of two people with over 72 years combined experience in the manufacture of plastic products in the UK for businesses such as Unifix, A P Technik, and Wolseley UK.

The manufacturing plant, based in the West Midlands, which employs around 20 full time staff, currently produces a varied range of injection moulded products which are supplied to markets in the construction industry, auto motive industry, electronics industry, water boards and cosmetic companies.

We have built a range of products in FM PRODUCTS that we will only sell to distributors. These products primarily suit the construction trades such as Plumbers, Electricians, Builders, Aerial and Satellite installers. We will, as the FM PRODUCTS’ business grows, develop our range in to a wider offering for the construction trades, but can potentially manufacture any product which would present us with the chance to diversify in to other markets.

At FM PRODUCTS, with our direct link to manufacturing, we know we can manufacture, in the UK, a comprehensive range of plastic products and source all our raw materials and packaging from UK and EU suppliers. Where we have a viable option, we will source our raw materials from local businesses as our primary choice. We have an agreement in place to source all our packaging from Remploy. (Remploy are committed to supporting disabled people and those experiencing long term unemployment to enable them to return to work into mainstream employment.) We will never scrimp on the quality of our products, packaging or logistics provision. Our service to our customers is the main driver for all our business decisions.

Carriage paid order within the UK Mainland is only £100. The minimum order value is £50 and orders that fall between £50 and £100 will attract a carriage fee of £5.50 within the UK Mainland. (carriage charge for orders outside of mainland UK are available on request.)
