With 20+ years of manufacturing experience behind him, Robert “Bud” Pendarvis, founded Pendarvis Manufacturing in early 1982. The original shop had 1 knee mill, a manual lathe, a small radial arm drill and 2 weld stations. Bud had honed his skills in the world of Aerospace manufacturing with an emphasis on welding. Bud had quite the reputation around town too. At one time “Back in the day” all 4 of Bud’s son were part of the company. His 3rd son, Brian, came onboard full-time in the spring of 1985. In the late 90’s Brian slowly took over the day-to-day management of the company and grew the company to +- 25 employees and the range of $4.5 million in annual sales. Fast forward to the spring of 2014 and Brian took over the ownership of the company from his father. We currently work out of 15,000+ square feet of manufacturing space.
