1930's during the depression years the company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nebraska as the Fairbury Planing Mill. Early products included window sash, moldings, case goods, and lumber.

1950's After the end of WWII the company expanded into metal fabricating producing over the road trucks and trucking equipment for the agricultural industry as well as fabricated wood products for business and home construction.

1960's The company designs and install store fixtures for then Hested's Five and Dime Stores. A chain store though out the Midwest much like Woolworth's. This experience with commercial applications would prove to be helpful in the future.

1980's The company moves into new facilities and leaves wood fabrication behind devoting resources to metal fabrication and product development. Reflecting this is the name change to FPM Inc.

1990's FPM Inc. develops machinery and is able to introduce a new product line of Pattern Polished Metals for automotive and architectural applications.

Today FPM Inc. is a leader in producing uniquely "Pattern Polished Metals" for a wide variety of applications and fabricated metals products for several industries.
