One of Precision Machined Products Association’s (PMPA) founding members, SEGEPO-FSM, marked a historic milestone on September 11, 2025, celebrating 120 years at its U.S. plant in Cold Spring, Kentucky. SEGEPO-FSM is a leader in custom screw-machined and precision-turned parts, produced on multispindle automatic machines and CNC turning lathes. It specializes in the manufacturing of threaded metal inserts, compression limiters, fluid-control and pressure-regulation components, specialty fittings, custom fasteners and other tight-tolerance parts designed for high-performance applications. Its expertise supports a wide range of industries, including automotive, appliance, heavy truck, electronics and fluid-control systems. With a commitment to attention to detail, the company emphasizes rigorous quality systems, precision manufacturing and responsiveness to customer requirements.
The event brought together employees, partners, community leaders and international colleagues to honor more than a century of craftsmanship, innovation and global collaboration. The program highlighted SEGEPO-FSM’s unique role through Fischer Special Manufacturing Co. as one of the founding members of the PMPA. On behalf of PMPA, I was honored to attend and express our gratitude for its vision and leadership in helping establish an association that continues to champion workforce development, manufacturing excellence and the spirit of collaboration.
On behalf of SEGEPO Group and SEGEPO-FSM, leadership extended heartfelt thanks to all teams, employees and distinguished guests whose presence made the celebration truly memorable. As stated by Aurelien Petit, SEGEPO-FSM’s director of sales and marketing: “This milestone is not only a tribute to the legacy we have built in the region and across the nation but also a recognition of the people whose dedication, trust and partnership have made our journey possible.”
Beyond reflecting on its legacy, SEGEPO-FSM emphasized its ongoing investment in advanced technology, sustainability practices and training initiatives that will ensure its relevance for decades to come. The company reaffirmed its commitment to carrying forward the values and spirit that have defined its operations for over a century.
The anniversary was not just about machines but also about people — the skilled craftspeople, engineers, leaders and partners who together made 120 years of success possible. When the employees paraded from the shop in their 120th anniversary T-shirts, the pride on their faces was obvious. Aurelien noted, “Together, you have all contributed to 120 years of excellence, and we look forward to building the future with you.”
On behalf of PMPA and its members, we congratulate SEGEPO-FSM on this milestone, thank the company for its enduring partnership and celebrate the contributions it continues to make in advancing precision machining in Kentucky, across the nation and around the globe.
