Symmco’s expansion to Tennessee will position the manufacturer to be geographically closer to its largest consumer base while also allowing for increased production capacity, sales volume and potential new partnerships with sub suppliers.  Founded in 1952, Symmco Inc. specializes in the manufacturing of powdered metal for customer-engineered components and stock products, which serve many industries including lawn and garden, medical, power transmission and others. In addition to its manufacturing operations, Symmco also performs secondary machining and in-house tool design.
