The Brothers

Originally opening as Cook’s Garage in the 1940’s, and later converting from an auto service to industrial machining in the 1960’s. The Cook Brothers started Cook’s Machine Shop with the intention of providing a service to the CSRA by becoming a full service machine and fabrication shop that uses leading edge technology along with traditional processes to deliver parts in a timely and cost effective manner.

The Cook Brothers learned their craft and trade from their father who worked and retired from Georgia Iron Works. Following in their fathers steps the brothers also went to work for G.I.W under the strong supervision of their own father, before branching off to convert their oldest brother’s auto garage into the full service industrial machine shop as we know it today.

The Building

Originally built as a wooden pole barn, and serving as a base of operations for the Cook’s Wrecker Service in the 1940’s on HWY 1. The Cook’s Machine Shop building has undergone many changes over the years, with the addition of a parts garage, and then later in the early 1960’s when the current metal shop was built over the top of the prior existing wooden barn. “as pictured to the left”
