OUR SOLUTIONS ARE PERFECT FOR EVERYTHING FROM DELICATE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT TO HEAVY DUTY POWER TRANSMISSION PARTS MORE DETAILS previous next ABOUT US Powder Metallurgy Company was founded by Larry Bobo in Carrollton, Texas in 1973. The firm originally shared quarters with a heat-treating firm in a drafty tin building. It was a great arrangement in the winter, but during the Texas summers there were ample excuses for sales calls on customers with air-conditioned facilities! By 1980, Powder Metallurgy Company had outgrown its space. The firm was re-located to its current location northeast of Dallas (Lewisville), increasing the floor space by 400%. Our success in delivering superior PM parts begins with out team of highly-trained & experienced people. We work as a team providing “hands-on” supervision for every Powder Metal project. We start by listening to our customers needs and analyzing each application. This results in a thorough understanding of the project parameters. Then, by coupling the latest CAD and FMEA technology with our extensive PM capabilities, a cost-effective manufacturing solution is achieved. LARRY AND BILLIE BOBO MIKE KUEHLER ROBERT MOORE LARRY AND BILLIE BOBO - FOUNDERS Larry graduated from Texas A&M in 1958. After his obligatory time with the U.S. Army, he joined a powder metallurgy firm on the West Coast. There he gained his expertise in PM. Larry and Billie returned to their home in Texas to open the doors of PMCo in 1973 with little knowledge, one customer, one press, and big hopes. Their modest beginnings started in the corner of a Carrollton Texas heat treat shop. Larry’s office was a 10’x15′ portable building strategically located inside of a rather loud and drafty metal building Billie was PMCo’s very first press operator. She worked right beside Larry while maintaining a home for their family. As the business grew, Billie created the template for accounting and office practices still used today. She managed the financial side of PMCo until retiring in 1995 to tend her yard and grandchildren.. Today ownership of PMCo continues to be a family tradition. Billie and Larry’s eldest daughter Lisa sits on the board as Secretary/VP and her husband Mike, manages the day-to-day business as the company president LEARN MORE Below you can learn more about what we do.
