Mission
Mission Statement
To be the region’s most reliable business providing the best machined parts and engineering services.
Banks Engineering & Machine was incorporated in late 2020 with partners TJ Banks & Ross Turner. TJ & Ross were former colleagues at Leggett & Platt. The team oversaw and led the expansion of production at the Carthage operation which supplied most of the Automotive Tier 1 and OEM car/truck manufacturing facilities for vehicle interiors in North America.
TJ & Ross established BE&M with the intent to purchase the Wyandotte Precision Products machine shop located at the old Joplin airport. This shop served the greater Joplin and four-state area with repair and MRO support in the food and packaging industries. The acquisition was completed in Feb 2021.
In late 2021 BE&M completed the asset purchase of American Tool & Engineering. The company primarily focused on tool and die and production fixtures. BE&M has completed the consolidation and continues to serve the ATE customer base.
Since these purchases BE&M has successfully taken production projects that service customers beyond the four-state area and across the United States.
In September 2025, TJ became the sole owner of Banks Engineering & Machine and continues to run the business with the help of his wife Courtney and their crew of talented machinists.
