ALL ABOUT
FRAEN
Fraen was founded in 1942 as a manufacturer of precision timekeeping components and has since expanded into a leading producer of both plastic and metal parts.
As American industries evolved—automotive, electronics, medical, defense, and aerospace—Fraen grew alongside them, staying true to our core values of quality, precision, and innovation. No matter the size or complexity of the project, Fraen has consistently risen to the challenge, adapting quickly to new technologies, industry demands, and customer needs.
