Gaston County, since 1977

Same shop. Same family.
Same work ethic.

The PMP shop floor, years ago. The machines have changed; the craftsmanship hasn’t.

Our story

Family owned and operated since 1977.

Precision Machine Products started in 1977 as a small Gaston County machine shop built on hard work and straight dealing. We began by keeping the area’s textile mills running, and over nearly 50 years we’ve grown to build and repair parts and steel work for plants, utilities, data centers and the construction and earthmoving trade across the Southeast.

We’re still family owned and operated, now in our third generation, on the same property where we started. When you call, you’ll talk to people who know the shop and stand behind the work.

Same address, three generations

We’ve always been right here in Gaston County, on the same property. The buildings have grown and changed; the family and the work haven’t.
