What Finetest does

FineTest Inc. is a privately held, family-owned designer and manufacturer of Functional Automated Test Equipment (ATE) and Power Supply Testing Equipment, founded in 1990 by Moise Hamaoui and headquartered in Palm Coast, Florida. The company's product line centers on the FT600 Series Power Supply Tester (introduced 1990) and the FT2000 Switch Mainframe, built on HP/Keysight measurement platforms with National Instruments LabWindows/CVI and LabView test software. Complementary offerings include switching card modules, power supply fixtures, hipot test systems, manual test systems, ESS/burn-in/vibration systems, and custom box builds. FineTest is an ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certified Keysight Technologies channel partner, with deep accumulated expertise in designing turn-key, custom-engineered test solutions for high-reliability military and aerospace applications.

FineTest operates a direct, sales-led, consultation-heavy go-to-market with quote-based pricing and multi-year custom contracts. The company is family-run, with founder Moise Hamaoui (50+ years in automated testing since 1970) and VP Nessim Hamaoui (joined 1992) leading operations, supported by a small team of IPC-certified instructors. The customer base is dominated by US military branches and defense prime contractors — including U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, BAE, Honeywell, and Sandia National Laboratories — with additional commercial customers in electronics manufacturing, telecommunications, medical equipment, and power electronics. Lockheed Martin has recognized FineTest for outstanding quality and innovation. No external institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity are disclosed; the company remains wholly family-owned and profitable on an undisclosed basis, serving a global customer base from its single Palm Coast facility.
