CURIOSITY SPARKS INVENTION

Our founder Angelo Rotondi was always curious of how things worked. He demonstrated an aptitude for invention early in life. At the age 9 he built a soapbox derby car and took the prize for "Best Construction."

He spent his teens in garages working on classic muscle cars of the 60s and 70s. Later he built a Sterling kit car loaded with unconventional extras. It had a P.A. system, a telescopic steering wheel, but it seemed to be missing doors. The driver got in or out of the car by activating an electro-hydraulic roof-hatch. His unique vehicle was featured at the World of Wheels Show and went on to be featured in Engineering Magazine.

In 1976 Angelo graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering.

Angelo spent his early career problem solving and applying his technical, scientific, and mathematical knowledge to design and inventions for a wide array of machines, parts, tools and other objects.


In 1998 Frankfort Machine and Tool, Inc. was born of an entrepreneurial spirit. FMT was founded on determination, a solid work ethic and a curiosity of what-could-be. For 15 years FMT has been helping it's customers problem solve and develop and create products.

Since our beginning we've participated and wide variety of projects, with a diverse array of applications.

We've made parts for Fuel Cells, Medical Instruments, Military Hardware, Food Processing Equipment, Electric Motors, Electric Car Conversation Kits, Toys, Paper Perforation Tools, Oil and Gas, Locks, Automotive, Healthcare, High Voltage Armatures, and Rail Roads.

With necessity being the mother of invention we evolved into the company we are today. Angelo and the rest of the FMT team are here to help you make your ideas real.
