How it started

History

MFG.com was founded by Mitch Free in 1999. The first site transaction between a custom parts buyer and custom parts manufacturer took place on February 14, 2000. Coined the 'Valentine Parts Order,' Free bootstrapped & grew the company to a profitable business over 4 years. In 2005, MFG.com accepted an investment from Jeff Bezos of Bezos Expeditions. In June 2006, MFG.com acquired Geneva based SourcingParts.com, a SaaS company focused on building advanced supplier relationship solutions for the made-to-order parts community.

Members of Bezos Expeditions and Fidelity Ventures currently sit on the MFG.com board of directors. In September 2012, General Wesley Clark joined the board as an advisory board member. In 2013 founder Mitch Free left MFG.com to pursue other entrepreneurial interests.
