Company Profile
F3 Engineering, formerly known as FF Food Engineering, was established in 1979 by Sam Forbes and Jim Faloon. Initially specialising in the supply and installation of heavy catering contracts for schools, the business quickly earned a reputation for the quality of their work.
The company was acquired in 2004 by the CHC Group of Companies and now trades as F3 Engineering Ltd., the core business of stainless steel fabrication added to a diverse portfolio of products and services ranging from ventilation systems and installation to a full service maintenance division, all under the F3 umbrella brand.
We have a fully equipped 3D AutoCAD design department which enables us to design, engineer and manufacture any product to your specifications. The design department features modern CAD equipment which complements our state-of-the-art production facility.
