Fermat, Inc. was established on 11 October 2013 in Japan. According to the company's own account, it began with e-commerce sales of overseas apparel products and a range of related system development. From that starting point it broadened the products and services it handles, moving into PC-related devices, the manufacturing and sale of cosmetics, and e-commerce agency services. Over time the company built out three principal business lines. The electronics business operates "fumo-shop" (ふもっふのおみせ), an authorized distributor of popular and emerging overseas gaming devices, which the company describes as acting as a "weapons merchant of eSports" and which it uses as a platform to expand into sponsorships and event planning. The IP collaboration business, "fumo collection" (ふもコレ), is fumo-shop's original IP collaboration brand, planning, producing, and selling original merchandise in collaboration with popular games, anime, and VTubers, with gaming devices at the center. The trading card business, "fumo TCG" (ふもっふトレカ), entered the trading card game market around Pokémon cards, handling card buying and selling, developing the original brand "FUMOTEX," and actively hosting events and tournaments for players.
