| In 1962, Anthony Mottola, an experienced machinist, started his own business in a two-car garage in Fair Lawn, NJ. Three years later, his son Frank joined the now growing firm and they expanded to their first factory building in Saddle Brook.
|
There they produced machined products for the vending machine industry.
By 1970, the vending machine business had changed and many of the parts were replaced by electronic devices. However, at that time, the aerospace and automotive sectors were providing a new source of work for the still growing company.
In 1978 Metal Components was approached by a prominent distributor of machined and fabricated catalog items, at that time Metal Components would again expand to a more modern facility in Little Ferry NJ. We are proud to say, some twenty-three years later, that our wonderful relationship with that firm is stronger than ever. Moreover, Metal Components is still a supplier to the automotive and aerospace industries.
In 1986 Frank turned to his son, Frank Jr. to revitalize the company through the acquisition of state of the art computerized equipment.

This enabled the company to become more flexible and enhanced it's ability to respond to the customer's needs.
