In 1981 a young father named Mike Landers full of ambition got a small loan to buy an engine lathe, a vertical mill, and a bench grinder.  The growing oil pump and mechanical seal industry caught wind of the quality parts being machined and Mike recruited some buddies who through the years shared in his success.  When the oil industry slowed Quality Parts went through some hard times, but with lean manufacturing it survived, and now his second generation machinist is hard at work to provide jobs and give purpose to a dying breed of machinist artists.  Quality Parts is a family owned and operated job shop serving the oil, hydraulic, electronic, automobile, medical, firearm, and plastics industries, any industry that involves metal components.
