SOUTHLAND MACHINE & MOLD, INC., was founded in 1979 by Robert Jean in a 1,500 SF. rented building in Smyrna, GA.

Our primary business was machining Sand-Cast aluminum castings and tooling for the aircraft industry. After being troubled with sand, sand pits, warpage, voids, egg shells, rough surface finish and high cost of sand casting process, we decided to do something different.

So, in 1980. on a $100 bet, we started our Permanent Mold Aluminum Foundry, with 10 years in the Plastic Injection Molding Industry experience. We built our molding presses and molds similar to plastic injection machinery, and we quickly outgrew our space.

In 1986, we built our first industrial facility, much better suited for our Permanent Mold Casting Operation, a total of 17,500 SF. In this space, we are able to create a reputation for precision and friendly customer service.

In 1993, we also setup an Impact Extrusion Operation for the high volume production of aluminum fittings for the industrial guard railing system to service the Water & Waste Water Treatment Industry.

My oldest son, Charles, grew up in the business learning from the bottom up, and in 1995, he took over as Operations Manager and runs the plant to date. In 1996, we received an announcement of a plan by the Department of Transportation to build a road through our facility.

In 1999, after 3 years of negotiations, we decided to relocate our home and business to a beautiful countryside near the town of Carrollton, GA. On our 45 industrial acres, a 30,000 SF. building was erected to accommodate all of the operations as well as a long term plan.

We look forward to a bright future with this new phase of our business.

Give us a call for any question regarding our operation and capabilities which might help your business.

We owe our success to our many loyal customers, employees and venders, and our tireless efforts to strive for perfection where anything is possible.
