Tooling Company Changes Name

JM MoldSouth (Easley, SC), a leading regional manufacturer of molds and dies for a wide range of OEMs, has changed its name to JMMS. The new name follows the transfer of company ownership from David M. Bowers, JM MoldSouth founder and president, to his son, David M. Bowers II, JMMS chief executive officer, and daughter, Michelle Powell, JMMS chief operating officer.

?We wanted to create a new brand,? David Bowers II said. ?One that acknowledges our heritage, but communicates our next generation approach to full-service tooling. Michelle and I learned the fundamentals from our father and now we?re applying those lessons, with investments in equipment and training, a global view of manufacturing, and an insistence on best practices throughout the organization.

?The economy?s changing and it?s going to be hard on companies that don?t have the financial resources and capacity to evolve. We have both, so we?re investing across the board to do more business with companies that build their brands on high-quality manufacturing.?
