A company founded on history and tradition

For over 75 years and through 4 generations our family, employees and
representatives have worked to build a solid reputation of trust and customer
satisfaction. POBCO's successes are derived from the outstanding contributions
of our people; past and present and the ingenuity and variety of POBCO products;
historic and modern.

POBCO was founded in 1929 by George Johnson. Formerly known as Paramount
Oilless Bearing Co., lnc., our original purpose was to provide Wood Bearings &
Parts used on textile machines in the once thriving New England textile industry.
(See POBCO Web article www.pobcoplastics.com "The Evolution of Conveyor Components").
Today our Lube-Filled Hardwood products are used in a variety of industries
including the Agriculture, Material Handling and Entertainment markets. Many of
these applications are harsh, dirty and wet where conventional metal or plastic
bearings have failed. Self-lubricating Wood Wear Strip was developed by George's
son Russell in the early 1960's and was first used on Meyer Labeling Machines
with great success.
