Welcome to Advanced F.M.E. Products
Our Story
We’ve Been Manufacturing Superior Quality Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) Products Since 2006.
Who we are
While working in sales, our founder saw a need across many of the power plants he visited. While performing maintenance, workers were using everything from plywood to old rags to prevent debris from entering their systems. Our founder and his son worked together to develop a consistent and effective solution. The solution came in 2006 when the newly formed Advanced F.M.E. Products developed the Safe-T-Sponge®. Since then, we have continually developed our patented products to provide optimal solutions for any and all foreign material exclusion needs.
