In 1831, a royal ordinance granted Auguste Capitain the right to establish an iron-ore crushing operation, consisting of a mill driven by a hydraulic wheel, along the banks of the Marne River in Bussy, near Joinville, in the heart of the Haute-Marne region of France. In 1835, after the construction of a blast furnace, daily production of cast iron reached 1,500 kg.
In 1901, the foundry equipped itself with a four-tonne open-hearth furnace enabling the manufacture of cast steel components.
Throughout the last century, major investments were made to reinforce and increase the machining capacity of the mechanical workshop, through to the 1980s, when the installation of a gear cutting machine with 12-meter diameter capacity signaled the arrival of Ferry-Capitain on the large open gearing market.
FERRY-CAPITAIN is the leading supplier of grinding mill components to the mining industry for several decades now. With trends to larger mills and a desire for gear driven solutions, the holding Groupe CIF invested heavily to strengthen FERRY-CAPITAIN´s position in the forefront of manufacturing technology for cast and machined components
