Jim Vining started Salem Metal in 1969 after receiving inspiration from his father-in-law to move from machining to precision sheet metal. During the company’s early years, Jim spent much of his time on the production floor working with manual hand tools and learning the basic equipment involved in sheet metal fabrication. Highly committed to the success of the company, Jim was able to steadily build a customer base that withstood many industrial fluctuations and a devastating fire in 1986. Today, Jim brings 45 years of precision sheet metal fabrication experience to the shop.

Prior to starting the company, Jim worked at Boston Centerless Grinding as a machinist, served in the United States Air Force as a medical corpsman (1964–1968), and was a 1963 graduate of Malden Vocational High School in the machine shop trade. Jim is a member of the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, Int’l (FMA), the Knights of Columbus, the American Legion, and the Middleton Kiwanis. Jim is also a motorcycle enthusiast.
