If there is one link in the interesting 50 years history of Bomco,inc. it is the pursuit of excellence. It started in 1958 as a part-time operation in a small garage belonging to Jim MacFeeley and a company named Bomco Pressed Metal and Spinning. One of their early customers, a young man named Pete Banks, needed “pail extensions,” special funnels, and refurbished spools for the wire processing operations of the Warren Wire Co. of Pownal, Vermont. While Banks was unimpressed with Bomco’s building, drill press, small jigsaw and three old small lathes, he was most impressed with the quality and excellence of their unique “metal spinning”. (A technology well known by the ancient Egyptians but not taught in Bank’s engineering classes at Cornell). In fact, the wire spools were beautifully refurbished and ran truer than when new, a first in the wire industry.
Recognizing both the high quality of metal spun parts and their future potential, Pete Banks not only gave Bomco more orders but decided to buy into the company! The owners accepted immediately and the new partnership began. (The initials of the original partners, Bunker, Oberg, and MacFeeley, formed the basis of the name, BOMCO.)
