S&B Precision Manufacturing, LLC

When you do business with S&B machining, you're supporting a business that's 


 - local and family-operated 


 - woman- and minority-owned 


 - growing and changing the way machining is done 


The machining industry knows exactly how to improve efficiency, accuracy, and reliability, but after 25 years in the business, we haven't seen one single shop doing what it takes. We're different. As husband-wife entrepreneurs, we're building our company and clientele from the ground up on the foundations that every machine shop aspires to but rarely employs. 


Barbara Cavanaugh was born and raised in Chile and always wanted to run her own business. She earned a degree in Business Administration while managing the office of a land surveying company. Barbara also studied English with the idea of someday opening a business in America. 


Shawn Cavanaugh grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, the son to a renowned car parts machinist. He started working tool and die at the age of 15. At 17, he was editing G-code More... and started programming CNC machines a few years later. Over the years, he got to work at some awesome shops throughout California and found his passion for making injection molds for surgical devices for the medical industry. He also loves to create designs that make your ideas come to life. 


 The two met on the slopes near Tahoe where hearts and dreams collided. It didn't take long to realize how, together, they could run a shop and change how machining is done. They live near San Diego with their son, Shawn Kenobi. (Yes, they're Star Wars fans).

Globe Plastics, Inc.

Globe Plastics, Inc. was established on October 15, 1958 in Pomona, California by Roy and Marion Cramer. Roy was a retired engineer at General Dynamics. From that humble beginning Globe started a proprietary line of transistor pads that offered a low cost solution to problems associated with semi-conductor production handling and assembly. Globe manufactured its own tooling and became a leader in the electronics industry for many years. As the company's expertise grew in advanced engineering materials, Globe began compression and injection molding high strength composites for the aerospace/defense industry. In December, 1979, Globe purchased the Encapsulation Cup line from Polytop Corporation, located in Fullerton, CA. Then in 1982 Globe purchased the Encapsulation line from MG Precision Products of South El Monte, CA. Globe then had two proprietary lines consisting of thermoset and thermoplastic transistor pads and compression and transfer molded Encapsulation cups. In 1988 the company More... was acquired by entrepreneurs Nywood Wu and Clifton Chang to expand their existing base of defense based contract manufacturers. Being a minority owned composite molding firm, Globe was able to gain a larger share of the aerospace/defense industry. A position we still hold, 60 years later. In 1992, after the dramatic defense downturn, Globe began compression molding highly productive SMC and BMC materials to supply Globe Composites components for the sound and lighting industries. These materials and our processes proved to be far superior and a better value than existing thermoplastics and die cast aluminum components for the sound and lighting industries so Globe started penetrating these markets also. Since that time we have continued to expand our manufacturing capabilities, quality systems and process expertise. In 2004 we began a joint venture with Moldzen Precision in Dong Guan, China to form Globe Composites Far East where we have manufactured tooling for several years. We specialize in providing superior value in thermoset and thermoplastic molding of parts ranging in size from the head of a pin to a truck hood and anywhere in between. In 2008 Globe attained ISO 9001:2008 status and since then Globe has become AS 9100C certified firm and is listed on the Oasis database to give our customers and potential customers confidence relating to our quality, consistency and reliability.
