We specialise in solving cutting problems.
Is a cutting problem slowing your production process down?
How much could your business save in maintenance costs if your knife lifespan was extended?
Knives are a small yet critical part of the production process – and using the correct blade could deliver significant savings to your business – cutting downtime and maintenance, reducing scrap and damage, and lengthening production runs.
Switching to a Fernite custom knife is a small change which can deliver maximum gain.
With the latest technology, highly skilled staff and a collaborative approach to working, Fernite have partnered with some of the world’s leading brands to develop and manufacture bespoke machine knives to solve cutting problems.
