Our History
In the beginning:
Our company was founded in a former two-bay service station by Bill August in 1981. His promise was “Liberty Pattern Company will produce only top-quality work with on-time or early deliveries.
Today:
Our pattern shop is a 38,000-square foot climate-controlled facility and we’ve become a recognized leader in pattern engineering with customers who trust our judgement and rely on us for solutions.
We’re a third-generation family owned business with a heritage of unsurpassed productivity and our concurrent engineering approach employs a proven teamwork philosophy that delivers your product on time and on budget anywhere in the world.
