Why Join Our Team
North Industrial Machine was founded in 1995 by Danny and Debbie Johnson of Hartsville, SC. The company had very humble beginnings, starting with just one employee, Danny Johnson Jr., and one manual lathe. Olin Johnson, Danny Sr.’s dad, helped provide guidance for the new company because Danny Jr. was only 13 when the company was created. By the summer of 1996, NIM had designed and constructed machines for use outside of the United States. Around March 1999, North Industrial Machine added CNC equipment to its operation, including engineering software to meet customer needs. By the spring of 2004 NIM had doubled in size by constructing a large fabrication department. The following year NIM purchased a sheet metal works company and moved its operations to its Hartsville, SC location. Expanding further in 2009, NIM purchased Precision Components and Services, located in Patrick, SC. Another round of expansion took place in 2010 when the fabrication department was relocated to a 4 acre building in Society Hill, SC. Most recently, North Industrial Machine purchased, Sun Superior in 2015 located in Darlington and moved its Fabrication department from Society Hill, into the Darlington Shop.
