OUR STORY
Bowers Precision was initially started in 2006 by Todd Bowers, mechanical engineer and uniquely skilled machinist, as a side business. The business has successfully grown in customer base over the years to include solid customers including Lockheed Martin, Hyperloop, Willis Equipment, Mission Motors, and many others. We also do work for other machine shops that contract out parts that require more expertise. Our reputation has grown through word of mouth, and our business eventually grew to the point where Todd could devote himself full time to Bowers Precision.
Todd has 16 years of experience with over 10 years of experience making custom machined parts and managing the manufacture of complex components. After earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Todd spent 6 years as a mechanical design engineer at Lockheed Martin before getting into manufacturing. He later spent 7 years as the manufacturing manager at Lightsail Energy. In his former careers, Todd was highly regarded as a skilled problem solver who was able to handle unique and complex parts that required his level of expertise and knowledge. Todd carries this combination of education and experience into his work at Bowers Precision. As an engineer himself, he communicates more effectively with engineers and understands mechanical requirements on a deeper level than the average machine shop. Todd also makes his engineering skills available to customers who need engineering consulting or mechanical design help.
Bowers Precision components are handled personally, with every aspect of manufacturing being handled by Todd himself. He personally programs and machines the components. Parts that need outside processes, like plating or heat treating, are personally driven to the subcontractor and directions are explained in person as well as on paper. Todd also personally handles shipping and often does local deliveries himself. This reduces errors and shipping damage while also reducing lead time. If your parts are critical and need a knowledgeable person to take full responsibility for their manufacturing, Bowers Precision is for you.
