Company History.

In 1982 we started this company in the mountains of Western North Carolina with one goal in mind. We wanted to offer OEM's a new level of responsiveness, creativity, and efficiency to air and surface heating systems. We knew that by sharing our knowledge and experience we could help OEM's greatly enhance performance, reliability, and cost effectiveness of their systems and products.

Farnam has always been active in a broad range of industries and heating applications. These diverse markets give us great stability in addition to insights and experience from many fields. We apply this knowledge.

Farnam has always been managed in a financially responsible manner. We operate for the long term and value our relationships with suppliers, associates, and our customers. Farnam is frequently the only source for the items we supply, so, reliability and responsiveness have always been our core values.

Thanks to creative systems and efficient short run capabilities we're a very cost effective manufacturer. Our ISO 9001 Quality System is a strong tool which serves Farnam and our customers well.

We've changed and grown. But what hasn't changed is the reason we began in the first place - to partner with clients and provide them with effective heating element solutions which improve their products.
