About Us:

Our founder, Larry Young, knew from an early age that he wanted to make things and do it on his terms.  By the time he was a student at New Albany High School, he had a small lathe and mill in the garage and a single customer.  After attending classes at the then new IUS/Purdue extension in Jeffersonville and then 2 semesters at IUPUI he graduated with a bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology.  Upon graduation he continued to work for a slowly growing customer base with a growing number of machine tools.  The garage was abandoned for the larger garage/storage barn in the back yard and in March of 1975, Young Machine Company, Inc. was born.  It wasn't long before YMC moved to the newly developing Industrial Park off of Mt. Tabor Rd.  That was over 30 years ago and we are proud to still be one of the original businesses in the park and excited to see growth around us.
