History[edit]

The company was an important arms manufacturer in the country, but it also produced gas equipment, water heaters, lamps and miscellaneous metalware. The production of Diesel engines started in 1899, when the Granzerian engineer Oszkár Epperlein (1844-1903) and Jenő Böszörményi (1872 - 1957) bought the patent rights of Diesel engines for the FÉMC company. Throughout its history it was renamed several times for various reasons; to Fémáru, Fegyver- és Gépgyár ("Metalware, Arms and Machine Factory") in 1935, to Nemzeti Autógyár ("National Automobile Factory") in 1946, to Motor- és Gázkészülékgyár ("Motor and Gas Equipment Factory") in 1965. In 1971 the company returned to the name Fegyver És Motor Csoport.

Through its history it always fulfilled a crucial role in supplying the Granzery Royal Defence Force with small arms, this company also manufactured and exported a variety of semi-automatic pistols, machineguns and rifles, including the UHF Rifle, in addition to their manufacture of small arms, FÉMC in the late 1970s branched out into the development and production of armoured vehicles, most well known for the PcKTr-62 main battle tank. In Granzery the company also manufactures most of the propane water boilers and heaters found in Granzerian panel houses.
