SOME COMPANIES ARE FOUNDED ON HARD WORK.
OTHERS ARE FOUNDED ON IDEALS.
FS-CURTIS WAS FOUNDED ON BOTH.
More than 160 years ago, the FS-Curtis way of doing business was established through two key commitments:
a dedication to building quality products and a dedication to responsive customer service.
Over the decades, the company and its products have evolved through innovation and new technologies. But those
commitments to quality and service remain unchanged. Today, just as in 1854, FS-Curtis customers can depend on
our products for reliable, long-term service. Equally as important, they can depend on getting the same from our people.
