October 2000 by a group of veterans of the game, telecommunications and mobile technology industries. The members of the management team have previously been involved with ten successful start-up companies. The company's employees are a tight knit team who have extensive backgrounds of working together at previous companies and projects.

Additionally, most of the people in the company have their roots deep in the "demo scene" computer culture. The demo scene started in the 80s on the early home computers such as Commodore 64 and Amiga. It is here where low-level assembly programming and optimization was taken into a whole new level and seemingly impossible visual effects were created on super-limited hardware.

Fathammer's core strengths include the thorough know-how of real-time 3D graphics technologies, optimizing for the limited hardware configurations of mobile devices and the development of high quality games. Combining this with seasoned project management, innovative product development and creative design, Fathammer can satisfy the specific needs of its customers in an effective way.

Fathammer's engineering and development operations are based in Helsinki, Finland. Fathammer also has an office in San Jose, California, which coordinates the company's sales and marketing activities.

The company is privately owned and currently employs 30+ people.
