Where It All Began (1979-1990)
Jim Thompson was an engineer. Kathy Thompson worked in quality. They met working together at Dow Corning. Jim noticed a significant amount of inquiries requesting small-run silicone parts and sought it out as an opportunity. They decided to open their own business (SMI) in the basement of their home, where their daughters, Kristi and Amanda, were both exposed to the business at a young age.
