The machining of ceramics industry was relatively young, and so was Pat Annese. The day Pat officially launched Bomas Machine Specialties, Inc., in Boston, he just wanted to be a success. The ensuing years proved him to be a pioneer.

Joe Annese joins his father at Bomas.

Needing more space, Pat and Joe moved the Bomas facility to Brighton, Massachusetts.

Joe Annese graduates from college.
He had been working at Bomas “since forever”, as he put it, so his future role in management was inevitable.

It didn’t take long to outgrow the Brighton facility and the Annese’s purchased, and relocated to, a major plant in Somervile, Massachusetts.

Here comes the bride! Joe Annese and
Theresa Lynn Willey say, “We Do”!

Joe Annese named President of Bomas.

Theresa Annese takes her place in management and is named Vice President of Bomas.

Joe and Theresa’s son, Mark Annese, joins Bomas after graduating from college, and now they are three generations strong.

Mark Annese is promoted to General Manager of Bomas as he gains recognition throughout the industry.

Bomas celebrates a major milestone by machining their two-millionth MOR Bar and confirming their leadership role in the industry; an achievement recognized by engineers across the country.

Joe and Theresa’s second son, Joe Jr., had already answered his first calling as a firefighter, rising through the ranks and becoming a lieutenant. In 2021, he joined Bomas part time, and the family legacy is more secure than ever.

With the future secure and the business still growing, the Annese’s took a big step, buying and moving into, a new larger facility in Woburn, Massachusetts.

Here’s to Joe, Theresa, Mark, Joe Jr, and the next 65 years!
