About Kubota Metal

Kubota Metal Corporation, Fahramet Division, (KMF), is the leading North American supplier of heat resistant cast steel products. Manufacturing Kubotaís brands of alloys from raw materials to finished products under one roof in Orillia Canada, KMF leads the industry in quality, dependability, and on-time delivery.

History

KMF was founded in 1935 to supply castings to the mining industry of southern Ontario. Since that time the company has become an important contributor to the diversification and expansion of the region. Markets have become international, with exports forming 50-60% of sales volume. Manufacturing castings for the mining industry remains an important activity. However, the subsequent growth of secondary industry has allowed KMF to develop and specialize in the casting and fabrication of heat and corrosion resistant alloys, especially those used by the petrochemical and steel industries.

KMF is part of Kubota Materials Division

Kubota Metal Corporation, Fahramet Division, was purchased by the Kubota Corporation of Osaka, Japan, in June 1990. KMF formerly operated as a division of Indusmin Ltd. within the Falconbridge Group. KMF is now part of the Materials Consolidated Division of Kubota. This group of independent operations manufactures products in steel, iron, and plastic for industry around the world.
