Pleszew, home to almost 16.000 people, is located in the south part of Greater Poland. The city was first mentioned in a historic source of 1283, when it received its city rights. Over the years, Pleszew city grew to become an industrial and services centre.
The origins of DMG MORI in Pleszew date back to 1877, when FAMOT was founded. Initially, FAMOT produced and repaired simple agricultural machinery and employed 20 people. Today, the site in Pleszew is the largest machine tool factory in Poland and the fastest growing local company.
From the very beginning FAMOT production plant was famous for its high technical standards and dynamic development. Therefore already in the early 1920s, FAMOT was a recognized and valued tool manufacturer for wood treatment.
Since the 1960s, FAMOT was associated with construction and complete production of high-quality turning machines for metal-cutting industry. Reliable and high-precision turning machines from FAMOT met high requirements of Customers from all around the world. In 1999 FAMOT joined DMG MORI Group and continued to develop its technology, implement digital solutions as well as increase its production capacity. Nowadays, factory in Pleszew is a fast developing facility, providing CLX turning machines, CMX V vertical milling machines, CMX U universal milling machines as well as innovative automation systems: Pallet Handling System PH 150 and Gantry Loader GX 6.
