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.

Our Message for 2013:
In order for real, positive change to manifest, we must change
ourselves. We can no longer delegate our authority to those
unworthy of our trust. The key to freedom is self-responsibility, without
being coerced to accept someone’s claim of being a “higher authority.”
Remember, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for
good men to do nothing.” — Edmund Burke

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!
