Facom Tools

Facom Tools were established in Paris in 1918, the year the first world war ended. Facom stands for “societe Franco-Americaine de Construction d’Outillage Mecanique” (Franco-American Mechanics Tool Company) and they were well placed to enjoy the benefits of the post-war period - in particular the growth of the automobile and aviation industries which demanded an ever increasing supply of tools as the twentieth century progressed. Forging a close relationship with Air France, Facom adopted an image of a winged hex bolt as part of its branding which was eventually modified to form the company logo as it exists today.
