Samco Machinery is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The ISO 9001-certified, vertically integrated company, provides innovative customized solutions built around standard modules. A world-class 164,000-sq.-ft. manufacturing facility has been assembled to simulate a real working environment much like many customer plants. “I had no idea that Samco would ever evolve into what it has become,” says Joe Repovs, Samco founder. “You start out with a bit of a dream and your goal is to have a small shop where you employ five to 10 people. What I learned is that, if you do a decent job, the customer forces you to go bigger. You will grow with your customers.”
