Frederic follows was originallyfounded by Mr. Frederick Follows back in the 1920s, Birmingham, UK. It is nowheaded by the Director General, Mr. Charles Rhodes who specialises in the manufactureof all types of marking tools, embossing tools and marking machines.Traditionally, coining dies are used to produce keys, medals, badges, coins and tokens. So basically any component which requires a sunken background with prominent raised characters.
