The French Oil Mill Machinery Company is pleased to announce that our subsidiary, TMP, A Division of French, relocated from Cleveland, Ohio into French’s Piqua, Ohio worldwide headquarters and manufacturing facility, effective August 8, 2012.
“Acquiring TMP in 2009 allowed us to provide an expanded assortment of custom molding solutions to our customers,” stated Daniel P. French, French’s Chairman and President. He continued, “Moving TMP into our Piqua headquarters is an additional step we are taking in order to further improve our company’s customer service and support. There will be no change in the designs or high quality you expect from French or TMP hydraulic presses, replacement parts or service.”
Key members of our French and TMP sales team will continue to support our customers just as always. Douglas Smith, Sales Engineer, maintains his current role of sales and project management of hydraulic presses for the compaction, friction and lamination industries.
Dave Sledz, Vice President, will continue sales and project management of hydraulic presses for the rubber, composite and laboratory markets, in addition to the TMP line of rubber mixers.
Denny Ashurst, Aftermarket Spare Parts and Service Representative, now works with all of French and TMP’s hydraulic press customers on service and part needs and by supplying replacement parts manufactured to original factory tolerances and material specifications, in accordance with stringent ISO quality control procedures. Denny also handles rebuild, retrofit, maintenance and calibration services.

The family-owned, ISO-certified company custom designs, manufactures and supports a wide assortment of stand-alone hydraulic presses and turnkey systems for the composite, friction, lamination and rubber industries. Press tonnages generally range from 20 to 2,000 tons, with various platen sizes, for compression, transfer, lamination or vacuum molding.
