Founder and President
Hello. My name is Rafael Fuentes, I am a Venezuelan-American entrepreneur, founder and president of Furex, Inc. We manufacture conveying systems, aerospace parts, and specialty industrial assemblies.
The company was founded in 2015, and since its very beginnings it differentiated itself by offering high precision custom parts at great turnaround times, personalized customer service, and a complete satisfaction guarantee policy. In over 3000 projects delivered we have never had a return.
We are located in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Our Story
The company started as a provider of specialty parts for industrial machinery of local manufacturing companies that would lack the original manufacturer support for their machinery or whose repair parts were months away in Europe, for example. We became experts in reverse engineering of parts and assemblies and that gave us the design expertise to start manufacturing our own engineered machines.
In 2019 the company entered the conveying system market. These systems comprise fully built equipment such as conveyor belts, hugger transfer conveyors, and accumulation rotary tables. These systems have virtually infinite applications and are used by a wide range of industries including food and beverage, pharmaceucals and nutraceucals, breweries, wineries, packaging industry in general, and a big etcetera.
Selling a fully built modular equipment online gave us a reach we never had before. We became from being a local precision part manufacturer to a nationwide provider of conveyor belts and accumulation rotary tables. This branch of equipment manufacturing quickly became the main stream of revenue for the company. We have exported equipment to 3 countries so far and we want to continue to expand our reach to service many more countries in this and other and continents.
The company was able to double its revenue for the first seven years of operations.
In 2020 Furex started pursuing the aerospace market by invesng in CNC fabrication equipment such as CNC milling machines, CNC lathe, CNC fiber laser cutting machine, CNC 125-ton press brake and a coordinate measuring machine capable of measuring parts with a 0.0003” precision (300 nanometers).
In 2024 we received the AS9100 Quality Management System which is the internaonal aerospace standard regulated by SAE Internaonal. The AS9100 is the same ISO 9001:2015 QMS but with added requirements to comply with the safety of the products we manufacture to such rigorous industry.
We take immense pride in our three specialized manufacturing branches, each dedicated to serving specific markets with unparalleled commitment.
