Innovative, Earth-Friendly Building Products
When it comes to green construction, it doesn’t get any greener than using the earth itself to build your home. Our products are designed to help you get the job done quickly and efficiently, at a price you can afford in these difficult economic times.
Here at Fernco, you’ll find a wide range of unique products designed for contractors, free-spirited home builders and ambitious do-it-yourselfers. Everything we manufacture is made of steel, a material known for its lasting strength and durability. All of our products are designed and engineered by us, built with care, pride and old-fashioned craftsmanship. In addition to our line of building products, we do custom steel fabrication.
We manufacture compressed earth block presses — machines that turn “dirt” into building blocks — designed for the environmentally-conscious builder who knows and appreciates the warmth, beauty and the graceful lines of earthen structures. Starting a decade ago with the basic “Cinva Ram” -style machine, we’ve gradually refined and improved our design to make block production faster, easier and less labor intensive. Best of all, our block presses are competitively priced and affordable for do-it-yourself homebuilders.
There are plenty of high-volume machines that produce hundreds of blocks per hour — and they come with a hefty price tag. Our machines are designed for those with more time and man power than dollars. For small contractors, do-it-yourself home- builders and those working in remote villages, our machines provide a cost effective alternative. For that reason, our machines have gained popularity world wide. From Somalia to Uganda, from Mexico to Equador and right here in the USA, our machines provide a high quality, low cost solution for the earth conscious builder.

Happy New Year!
With 2009 now behind us, we look forward to better days ahead.
The mainstream media say that the U.S. economy is recovering
and the dollar will strengthen in the coming year. Our forecasters,
including Bob Chapman,
editor of The International Forecaster newsletter, and
Gerald Celente of
The Trends Research Institute, paint a very different picture
of what awaits us in the near future. We encourage you to
examine both of these publications and decide for yourself.
This year, let us choose freedom and self-responsibility.
Let us not place our future and destiny in the hands of those who
would entangle us in a web of perpetual debt, deceit, tyranny
and war. It is time for us to rise from our knees and take full
control and responsibility for our lives and to cease putting
our trust and faith in those who, year after year, little by little,
tighten the noose around our necks with Orwellian legislation, ever
increasing taxation and lower standards of living, all the while
telling us not to worry, that all is well and everything is
getting better. Let us acknowledge our past mistakes and errors
in thinking; we now know where the road leads when we hand over
the steering wheel of our lives to someone else.
We wish you peace, the strength to do what you must, and love
in every aspect of your life.

Our custom press was made on time, on budget, and did everything Fernco said it would. It is very easy to operate, and we generate sales of our masonry products simply by working the machine in plain view. You can count on the Fernco folks for information and technical questions. Very pleased indeed!
