It all started with
one entrepreneur.

In the Beginning

In the mid 1970’s, our founder (William Skelly Sr.) was like so many others that worked at a “good job” but that just didn’t provide him the mechanism to really get ahead in life. After attending a business opportunity show, he discovered the power and benefits of the automatic merchandising business.

It was a business he could start in addition to his job. He made money selling products that people purchased regularly without having to be there to “make the sale” and most importantly it was a business that he could scale one step at a time.

It wasn’t long before the new business became his sole source of income. He had learned a new way of life that included substantial tax benefits, freedom and satisfaction that his job would have never been able to provide.

By 1986 the company had become a significant operator in the automatic merchandising business and management saw the opportunity to use their experience to help others achieve the same success and independence that our founder had.

FOM Corporation was established to fulfill this mission. The company started small at first, with a few key staff and a loyal group of repeat customers. Our founding principal that “You can get anything you want in life, if you just help enough other people get what they want”, continues today throughout all the subsidiaries and brands that represent the FOM Group of Companies.

Although the automatic merchandising business has changed in many ways over the years, FOM’s companies all understand at the core, that machines are only one part of what we provide that contributes to the success of our individual operator partners. It is the industry, marketing and business knowledge that we share with our partners that makes the difference. As such, individual mentoring will always be a cornerstone of the support we offer our customers.

After more than 30 years of business and more than 5,000 operators established, we feel that the FOM story has only begun to be written.
Now in the next generation of family management, the FOM Group of Companies is continuing to introduce and launch innovative new equipment and growth programs for the next generation of entrepreneurs across North America.
