Fam Stumabo has expanded its blade manufacturing operations with the addition of a third production facility, now fully operational. The new facility houses Stumabo’s expanded hydrocutting blade operations, with the investment nearly doubling the company’s production capacity for blades.

The expansion also includes investments in automated and semi-automated equipment, combining high-volume production capacity with greater flexibility to manufacture specialised blade designs. A new laser system, state-of-the-art forming machines and other equipment further enhance its manufacturing capabilities.

“Throughout our history, we have grown alongside the food processing industry, adapting our expertise and technologies to the changing needs of our customers,” says Mark Van Hemelrijk, CEO of FAM Stumabo. “This latest expansion represents another important milestone.”

Stumabo’s work in precision blade manufacturing dates back to 1947. Its development has closely followed the evolution of industrial food production, from canning to frozen foods and today’s increasingly diverse cutting applications. Since joining forces with FAM in 1997, the Belgian company has combined its blade manufacturing with FAM’s industrial cutting equipment.
