History: RMC was founded in 1946 by William L. Richardson, Sr. The Company transitioned from a dairy to a manufacturer of milk coolers and freezers. Soon thereafter, RMC began subcontracting work for the heavy road equipment manufacturers in the local area. Due to the shortage of copper during the Korean War, the Company suspended manufacturing of refrigeration products and devoted all facilities to the subcontract market. Throughout this period the Company participated in several government programs. Such programs included: the B47 Bomber (Boeing Aircraft), the Titan Missile (Glenn L. Martin), and the Inertial Guidance Systems and Nuclear Cyclatron Acceleration Chambers (Universities of Colorado and Illinois). RMC has always maintained a high precision tool and die shop to support such programs.


In 1979, RMC entered a new era in manufacturing. Recognizing the fact that implementation of new technology was necessary in order to be competitive in the work place, RMC introduced the use of CNC (computerized numerical control) lathes, machining centers and coordinate measuring machines. Even with the advent of new technologies our success has been and always will be attributed to the highly skilled and dedicated personnel RMC employs.


RMC is dedicated to providing quality machining and fabrication services in a timely manner and at a fair price. Our past and future success is based on the following four-point philosophy.

QUALITY - SERVICE - DELIVERY - FAIR PRICE

Service to the customer is our only business. In the words of John F. Welch, CEO of General Electric Company,
"The customer either rates us better or worse than someone else.
It's not very scientific, but disastrous if you score low.".
