The addition of Fermat’s indexable and contouring heads, with their rotary and bespoke tables, all designed and built in-house offers even more flexibility. Similarly, its grinding machines provide extensive capacity, with between centre distances of up to 6,000mm and a capability to grind parts weighing up to 5,000kg.

Broadbent Stanley will be focusing its sales activity for the Fermat product range on the oil and gas, rail, power generation, marine and yellow goods sectors, where the versatility of its mills and grinders can bring significant advantages.

Based in Prague, Fermat traces its roots back to 1901 (Broadbent Stanley’s history takes it back to 1870) and currently employs over 600 people, with five manufacturing sites in the Czech Republic, making it one of Europe’s oldest and most experienced machine tool builders.

At this stage Fermat still manufactures 95% of the component parts of its machines in-house, which brings control and fast reaction time to all enquiries. As well as manufacturing new horizontal mills and cylindrical grinders, the company also utilises its knowledge to provide a rebuild and retrofit service to customers looking to update existing machines.

“We are excited at the prospect of working with Fermat, as the addition of these products to the Broadbent Stanley portfolio means that we are the only company offering European-built heavy-duty, large capacity mills and grinders in the in the UK and Ireland ,” says Graham Thomas, managing director, Broadbent Stanley.
