In 1947, Frank Gessay along with three partners purchased a small machine shop with a smaller customer base. They all had machining experience but running a business was new to them. They worked long days, putting in ten hours, going home for dinner then going back for up to five more hours just to keep up with production to satisfy their clientele. Soon, they were able to afford to hire employees, the business was growing.

In 1952, they outgrew their building and decided to construct a new shop at an adjacent lot. Now the space had doubled which they quickly filled with multiple screw machines. They went from three machines to nineteen in eight years.

In 1957, one of his partners left to pursue a different path. This was a mere bump in the road. They started to bring in milling machines, tappers, drill presses and lathes. They ran out of room again, this time putting an addition on in 1962, creating space for the second operation department. Now they had 10,000 sq. ft.

In 1977, Frank's two remaining partners retired, advancing sons Joe and Bob into the everyday runnings of the business. Joe already had over twelve years of experience setting up machines and Bob was being groomed to work in the office.

By 1983, sons Jim and Scott were now also part of the business, helping out while Frank became semi-retired to combat an ailment. A year later, the young men found themselves running the shop after the sad passing of their father. They were determined to continue the Master Machine name, looking towards the future. As the business climate changes and technology advances, they were eager to enter the computer age.

In 1986, they bought their first CNC turning center. This opened up new avenues to be more competitive on lower volume orders. Soon they brought in a CNC vertical machining center. In the boom of the nineties, they purchased more CNC turning centers, all with long shaft capabilities and some with live tooling. These machines have changed Master Machine Company from a 'traditional' screw machine house into more of a job shop. With the tragic passing of Bob in 2007 and Joe's retirement in 2010, Jim and Scott continue running the business with emphasis on quality and delivery at a reasonable price.
