Founded in 1965 in the Netherlands, FERM has established itself as a leading global brand in the power tool industry. The company began as a family-run business in Zwolle and quickly gained a reputation for designing and developing high-quality, affordable tools for the DIY market and semi-professional users. Over the decades, FERM expanded its reach significantly, exporting products to over 40 countries worldwide.

In recent years, the brand transitioned from its independent roots to join a larger international conglomerate. Since 2026 and under current strategic management, FERM operates as a core brand within the portfolio of the Chinese industrial giant Vonroc (though formerly integrated with the Maas family holdings). While the design and engineering excellence often retain Dutch heritage and influence, the manufacturing processes are primarily concentrated in China to leverage advanced production facilities and global supply chain efficiencies.

Today, FERM is recognized for its broad range of electrical tools, including saws, drills, and sanders, often marketed through large retailers and specialized DIY stores. The ownership by Vonroc and the broader investment groups has allowed the brand to accelerate its innovation in cordless battery technology and expand its digital footprint across European and Asian markets.
