Original Safe-T-Sponge®
Made in Mentor, Ohio.
Safe-T-Sponge began with a request from a power-plant quality control manager: a better way to keep machining debris out of equipment.
Tom Nolfi and his son started small, developing and refining the product together. Today, Advanced FME manufactures in Mentor, Ohio—with the same focus on keeping debris out.
