History of Johnson Machine Works

David F. Johnson, a machinist for the Northwestern Railroad, and his brothers, took over the foundry and machine shop portion of the "Chariton Foundry" in 1907.  Chariton Foundry was a woodworking plant, foundry, blacksmith and machine shop. Their expertise with iron and steel allowed them to serve as a repair shop for local farmers and builders.  This was the precursor to what is now Johnson Machine Works.

 

Today, Johnson Machine Works has reached it's 100th Anniversary.  JMW'S activities have been directed since 1997 by a 4th generation Johnson,Jeff Johnson. Our workforce is comprised of approximately 100 dedicated men and women with over 200,000 square feet of covered production space in which to work.  JMW strives to stay to stay up to date in technology and use it to constantly improve efficiency in order to build for the future.
