The Fentech Company


Jim Davis from Fentech Crankshaft Balancers discussing the features on his machines.

The Fentech Company started in 1996 as an engineering and design firm.  At that time, owner and founder, Jim Davis, had over 15 years’ experience behind him as an engineer at Sunnen Products Company and Hunter Engineering.  His experience at those leading auto repair equipment companies gave him the background and experience to begin work on his own design for an innovative new dynamic crankshaft balancing machine.  Two years into testing and development of his precision crankshaft balancer, he connected again with Sunnen products, who was interested in private labeling his balancer.

Before they knew it, Fentech Company was manufacturing the DCB-750 as a subcontractor for Sunnen Products, and within a year after that the DCB-2000 was developed and brought into production.  Over the next decade, Fentech precision balancers, sold under the Sunnen brand, became a leading major supplier of crankshaft balancing machines to the automotive engine rebuilding market.  Eventually, Sunnen changed it’s focus and Fentech began selling its dynamic crankshaft balancers under the Fentech brand, which it has been doing with great success ever since.

Today, engine rebuilding shops in the U.S and internationally rely on Fentech Dynamic Crankshaft Balancers for their high precision, ease of use and proven long-term durability.  And because they’re recognized as the best, with the highest levels of precision performance available in the industry, motorsports and automotive racing engine builders know they can trust Fentech to help them Crank It Up! and take their high-performance engines to the peak of efficiency.  Absolutely no other dynamic crankshaft balancer on the market can match Fentech’s precision and ease-of-use, and no other balancers have Fentech’s advanced capabilities that let race engine builders choose their own overbalancing ratios to maximize the torque and horsepower in their racing engines.

Fentech is proud of its reputation for always bringing customers exceptionally high-quality products, outstanding performance, unmatched precision, long-term durability and outstanding customer support.
