Meet Alex Morena and Dave Smith of Smith & Sons Machine

Today we’d like to introduce you to Alex Morena and Dave Smith.

Alex and Dave, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Smith & Sons Machine is a Machine Shop located in Boston. In addition to machining, we provide certified welding services, laser alignments, in-shop and on-site mechanical repairs since 1927. My cousin Dave Smith and I purchased the business in July 2016 making us the 4th Generation owners of this family-operated company. Dave & I worked outside our family’s business at various times but never lost our passion for machining. When the opportunity to purchase the shop became available, we both knew it was the right time to return to our family roots.

Has it been a smooth road?
Our transition has been a relatively smooth road. We’ll admit, one interesting element we’ve faced is adapting to our administrative roles. We’ve learned really quickly why the term “The Buck Stops Here” was coined. Understanding our responsibilities as owners and to put in place all the moving pieces required in operating a small business has been a great learning opportunity. The best part about having a partner is that Dave & I make all our business decisions together & understand the importance of us being a cohesive unit. We are great friends and have a tremendous amount of respect for each other.

We’d love to hear more about your business.

What has been the proudest moment of your career so far?
