B&P Machine Company has a long and pioneering history that has focused on high quality and precision machining for almost five decades. Founded by Maryann Teel in Essex, Mass., the only female in the industry at the time, the company was formed to service the shoe making industry, supplying replacement parts to the united shoe machine along with the American shoe machine.

 

Maryann ran the operation up until her retirement in 2000, when ownership was transferred to her daughter, Shelly, who eventually moved the business to Maine. 

 

Since then, B&P has remained an industry leader and has continued to leverage new innovations in the stamping industry. Today you’ll find the facility operating many different designs for the tool and die industry as well as the stamping industry.
