are the keystone element and the driving force behind every aspect of our enterprise.
grit - We use it every day.
Engineering - Our foundation began at Southern Polytechnic State University, now Kennesaw State. Engineers often get a bad rap, let us prove to you how we are different.
History - With over 20 years experience in the machine shop business, we’ve seen a few things. We know when a solution works and when to look to alternative methods.
Modernization - While we rely heavily on tried and true solutions, we recognize that technology is advancing at breakneck speeds. We strive to utilize modern technologies to solve our customer’s problems while maintaining an elegant simplicity when possible.
Friendly and Personal Service! Give us a call or email and let us prove our value while making you feel like part of our family. We look forward to hearing from you!
We know that business is demanding and stopping production due to mechanical failures, supply chain issues or personnel is not an option. When work becomes mayhem, you’ve already found us!
Our Philosophy
Unlike other herd animals, the Buffalo possesses a unique trait that I admire greatly. When bad weather approaches other herd animals turn and run away, thus increasing their exposure to the harsh elements. BISON, however, turn and face the thunderhead. Squaring their shoulders to it, they walk headlong INTO THE STORM. They face the hard; tilling the ground with their hooves as they move, allowing the seed to take root. Their mere existence improving the land behind them.
When I first learned about this I knew I wanted to be the Buffalo. To face the difficult head first in hopes of sunny skies coming sooner but also leaving the world and those around me better than I found them. This is why I started Mayhem. Because the world is Mayhem and we are the Buffalo.
The story, and the name, are not unique to me. They are in fact inspired by a person I’ve never met who runs a buffalo farm I’ve never been to. If imitation is the best form of flattery, I hope if he ever sees this, not only is he flattered but proud of what he has inspired.
Just like the work we do is not unique to us; you can find machine shops on every corner. What I hope you find with us is something different. That personal connection. That feeling of knowing that your work is truly appreciated and that you experience something different when you chose us. When your life is better because you allowed us to know you, THEN you have experienced MAYHEM.
