A Conversation with Bob Smith, Sales Manager, Phoenix Specialty Manufacturing 

The Knowledge Economy, Entrepreneurship

Phoenix Specialty Manufacturing is a fourth-generation, family-owned company that has operated for almost 110 years – 50 of those years in South Carolina. But as old and established as it is, it makes cutting-edge products for the 21^st century. The company’s products – washers, seals, shims, gaskets and spacers – are deceptively simple, and some are incredibly tiny. But they are made to exacting modern standards out of an array of high-tech material. And they are made for very specific, demanding tasks. Phoenix products can be found on the moon, on Mars, in Olympic bobsleds and NASCAR race cars.
