CFE Company Profile

Established 1996
Founders Con Lynch and Pat Dennehy

Initially founded to become the preferred supplier of pelleting consumables to the compound feed industry, CFE, due to the growth in pelleting outside the compound area, now embrace all the other applications that use pelletising equipment.
They have quickly moved to specialising in the supply of new dies and the refurbishment of roll assemblies. CFE’s prime objective is to supply a total service and engineering solutions package to the pelleting industry.

Planning for the industry’s future needs CFE have initiated a major investment plan. Roll refurbishment has been totally automated, handling manipulators and overhead craneage have been installed. This massive investment has placed C.F.E. in the position to capitalise on the bigger pelleting consumables that will be required in the future.

The company's first base was Castleisland in Ireland. It invested in automated plant for unblocking dies. This equipment was patented and C.F.E. bought the use of the patent for Ireland and U.K. Although now well established in the UK the administration function remains in Castleisland where daily contact with customers and suppliers is maintained through CFE’s free phone numbers. The UK operation is now based at Haydock in a highly automated plant. The nine thousand square feet factory is conveniently situated just off the M6 at junction 23.

Massive investment in technology has been matched with careful selection of staff. To fill key roles C.F.E have invested in people with extensive experience with well-known companies in the compound feed and supply industries. Whilst a relatively young company, CFE’s Sales Team have on average twenty years industry experience and the Production Team in excess of nine. All new recruits are subject to an intensive training regime.

C.F.E have assembled an enormous amount of skill and experience in applying supply technology to pelleting functions and benchmarking. CFE fully believe that benchmarking input costs in milling engineering is the direction that industry needs to go. CFE will provide the total solution including maintenance of equipment. The service package will provide solutions to the challenges facing milling engineers. The company offers the complete solution and have made the investment in technology and people to ensure that this is achieved.
