May 1988 Buchholz-Smith Plastic Fabrication started its corporation.
Ready to venture into the world of plating equipment despite our humble means in a small building and hand held welding technology we were determined to be successful.
After several years of working hard our business began to flourish and the 1990’s was a very busy decade. We had expanded from one small building to 3 large buildings. The turn of the century brought many more events, some good some bad. We updated and improved our welding capabilities with Wegener welding tools and technology and Increased our labor force and pushed towards higher sales.
Times were good and then our country endured the attacks of 9-11. Just like the rest of the country we were struggling to keep things going. Fortunately, we were able to make it through because of good financial planning and God’s blessings. About a year later businesses were recovering from 9-11 and we were welcoming all the work. Unfortunately in 2004 our corporation lost owner and office manager Tammy Smith. This altered the lives of everyone who worked for us and with us. Bobby Smith decided that he was ready to get out of the business and passed his and Tammy’s life work to their son Joey. In a matter of months, Joey and Renae Smith took the reigns and with Bobby’s advice continued the business with the same diligence and hard work.
For the past 6 years Buchholz-Smith, Inc has continued to support our customers and venture out into new opportunities. Business was running just like before, producing quality plating tanks, barrels and replacement parts. As we were looking to expand someone told us “don’t just survive, thrive.” This statement stuck with us and now…We know to further the business even more we need to update our information on the World Wide Web.
Currently we are working on updating our website to give our customers more information on exactly what we manufacture. By increasing our sales team with employees who know our business, know our products and can further assist our customers. As we go through this process we look forward to making our dreams a reality. Most of all we look forward to the future, a good future with our current customers and customers to be.
