| FPM Metals is a leader in the production and development of
"Pattern Polished Metals" for architectural and automotive
applications. The process of polishing known as engine turning,
swirling or jewelling dates back into the 1800's. Engine turning
or jewelling is a process of polishing stainless steel or other
metal items with small overlapping swirls that form a moiré
pattern. This jewelled pattern creates a dazzling finish that
reflects light and makes the surface seem alive. Probably the
most famous application of engine turning can be seen on the
cowling of Lindbergh’s “Spirit of St. Louis”.

| Dashboards and firewalls of the 1930's were common places
where this finishing style could be found. FPM has produced
numerous pieces for such marques as Duesenberg and Bugatti. FPM
metals have been proudly displayed at such prestigious
automotive events as the Geneva Auto Show and Pebble Beach
Conquers. |

| FPM Metals now has brought this once tedious process of engine
turning into the 21st century and expanded on it to include an
inspiring array of linear as well as circular patterns for the
architectural industry. Today the process is not limited to
automotive applications because of cost and sheet size
availability but is being used in a wide variety of applications
from column covers and elevator doors to the music industry. Go
to the Architectural section to see available patterns and
products. |

| What FPM Metals has created is truly unique.
Our materials give the illusion of depth and
movement as light explodes off of the sheet. You now have the opportunity to use FPM Pattern
Polished Metals in applications of your own. Please explore our
