DMS Machining & Fabrication

About DMS Machining & Fabrication

DMS Machining & Fabrication was founded in 1991 in Barre, Vermont. The company is led by President/Owner Byron Atwood, who has been with the firm since its inception, alongside Operations Manager & Owner Charlie Atwood and Office Administration Diane Atwood. The business began with a mission to deliver quality work on time and at a fair price, serving industrial, commercial, and construction customers across the Northeast. The equipment roster includes a range of manual and CNC lathes (Southbend, Southwestern, Poreba, Okuma, Monarch), vertical turret lathes (Bullard), milling machines (Bridgeport, Southwestern CNC, Cincinnati, Futurmill), horizontal boring mills (Wotan, G&L), a Morrison keyseater, and an Eutectic Terodyn thermal‑spray system. The company performs machining, steel and metal fabrication, mechanical repair, design and engineering, and on‑site field services, with rare need for outsourcing. DMS serves mining, energy (hydropower, biomass), construction, manufacturing, aggregate, asphalt, wood products, educational institutions, hospitals, and ski resorts throughout the Northeast. Its MSHA‑certified field crew travels in fully equipped trucks to handle emergency repairs, planned maintenance, and new installations at customer sites. The firm emphasizes its enduring commitment to “quality work delivered on time and at a fair price,” backed by continuous investment in skilled personnel, equipment, and stringent safety protocols. This focus has built a reputation for completing complex projects that require both shop‑based precision and on‑site adaptability.
