Our Heritage

Farrat celebrating 60 years of engineering and manufacturing in the UK

Proudly celebrating 60 years of engineering excellence, as a third-generation owned and operated company.

Farrat has a rich and successful heritage as a UK engineer and manufacturing company, dating back to 1959.

We started out manufacturing machine tools and wedge levelling mounts for clients in the industrial sector – working primarily with machine applications, such as power presses, mills and grinders.

However, as our capabilities, experience and knowledge advanced we quickly expanded manufacturing operations and introduced anti-vibration materials into the Farrat portfolio. This enhanced our engineering of vibration isolation systems, allowing Farrat to enter the construction and power generation markets as specialists in the field of not just vibration, but also acoustics and thermal bridging.

After several years of organic growth and investment into all areas of the business, we now export a wide and varied portfolio of high-performance vibration, acoustic and thermal isolation solutions worldwide through a growing network of global distributors.
