FHC Revenue and Competitors

FHC designs, manufactures, and internationally markets quality products for neuroscience, the study of the brain and nervous system, and neurosurgical research. Our neuroscience customers are scientists studying at major universities, medical schools, research hospitals, government research institutions, and private laboratories located at pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and major technology-based companies around the world. We endeavor to create a collaborative relationship with our customers and have adopted the term "Needlecraft" to describe the process. Neurosurgeons use our equipment for intraoperative microelectrode recording and stimulation so as to map the electrical activity of human brain in order to precisely locate dysfunctional areas prior to removing or modifying them. We have established microTargeting, as our trademark for this technology, which recently has found increasing use in the treatment of Parkinson's symptoms and other movement disorders. Our products are also used for microneurography, the monitoring of human peripheral nerve activity as it relates to neuromuscular function. Our 50 employees work at our headquarters in Bowdoinham, 35 miles north of Portland, Maine. Our facility is on the banks of the picturesque Cathance River, which is part of the unique Merrymeeting Bay ecosystem, one of the few tidal (up to nine feet!) fresh bodies of water in the world. From our windows we enjoy summer views of our beautiful little harbor full of boats and swimmers. Our winter views are the small shacks erected on the ice for smelt fishing. Come visit us and experience our special Maine lifestyle. We're always anxious to throw a lobster in the pot or take our visitors to lunch at the Town Landing, the best (and only!) restaurant in town. "Crafted in Maine to be the world's best!"
