Established in 1969, B & M Machine Works has been a Tulsa based company from the beginning!  Bill Bays and Denver Merriman started B & M Machine Works in a small shop located near down-town.  After a few years, Bill and Denver dissolved their partnership and Denver opened his own shop in Inola, OK called Machinery House.  Bill continued to operate B & M Machine Works.

Business grew through the late 70's and 80's.  B & M has always been a  family-owned and operated  business. His son Kenneth came to work for him full time after graduating from high school and Tulsa Vo-Tech in 1986.  In 1994, Kenneth married Andrea, who later became B & M's Office Manager in 1998.

In 2003, B & M Machine made a huge change moving  from its original location at 5th & Trenton to a much larger building located at Haskell & Rockford. This increased B & M's operating space by 3 times!

In 2005, Bill at the age of 76, decided to give ownership to his son Kenneth who has been managing the shop for the last few years.  Although there has been a slight name change with addition of LLC (B & M Machine Works, LLC), Kenneth continues to run B & M as a family business.  And to this day, Bill still comes to work every day although he is allowed to pick and choose his projects! So much for retirement!

In September of 2006 we decided to step into the modern age of machining. We began by purchasing several Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines. In the next year we added five CNC machines...two lathes and three mills...and a highly skilled programmer to oversee B & M's CNC goals. This has widened our production options. We are no longer just a "short-run" machine shop but a more versatile shop with the capabilities of turning out production jobs.
