Our history

At FOHAMA, we are a 100% domestically owned SME company, with a third generation of uninterrupted industrialists who, together with their employees, many of whom date back to the beginning, have created a virtuous economic and social cycle through austerity, effort, investment, and training, serving the production of power transformers.
