About Symmco
Symmco was founded in 1952 and is headquartered in Sykesville, Pennsylvania, where it manufactures innovative powdered metal products including bearings, bushings, gears, and custom plate stock. Powdered metal manufacturing allows Symmco to produce precision components with controlled porosity for self-lubrication, a capability that is difficult to achieve with conventionally machined metal parts.
The company has built a reputation for high-quality manufacturing and conflict-free material sourcing, serving diverse industrial customers with customized component solutions and comprehensive design support. This engineering-support approach has let Symmco work with customers from early part design through full production runs rather than simply supplying catalog stock.

Frequently asked questions
What is powdered metal manufacturing, and why does Symmco use it?
Powdered metal manufacturing compacts metal powder into a mold and sinters it under heat to form a solid part, which allows for controlled internal porosity that can hold lubricant for self-lubricating bearings and bushings. Symmco uses this process to produce precision components that would be difficult or costly to achieve through conventional machining.
What types of components does Symmco manufacture?
Symmco manufactures powdered metal bearings, bushings, gears, and custom plate stock for a range of industrial applications. The company's focus on powdered metal processing lets it offer both catalog parts and fully custom component designs.
Does Symmco provide design support for custom parts?
Yes, Symmco offers comprehensive design support alongside its manufacturing capabilities, working with customers from early part design through production. This engineering partnership approach is part of what distinguishes the company from suppliers that only offer standard catalog stock.
How long has Symmco been manufacturing powdered metal products?
Symmco was founded in 1952, giving the company more than seven decades of experience in powdered metal component manufacturing. It remains headquartered in Sykesville, Pennsylvania.
Does Symmco source its materials responsibly?
Yes, Symmco has built its manufacturing practices around conflict-free material sourcing as part of its commitment to high-quality, responsible production. This sourcing commitment applies across its bearing, bushing, and gear product lines.
