By working together our services are so intertwined with our customers’ day-to-day operations we are often considered part of their company – and we consider them part of ours.

Our Culture

As the BTM team continues to grow, the values which have driven our business for the last 60+ years remain unchanged.

Not content with the status quo, we take ongoing skill development and apprentice training seriously – as a result, we have a U.S. Department of Labor registered apprenticeship program.

We believe by providing this supportive environment for our BTM team, along with a desire to find innovative solutions for our customers, we are ready for YOUR next impossible job.

Our History

In 1963, Glenn Porter took a chance and started a small machine shop in Cary, IL.

Delighted with his growing business, Glenn moved operations to Woodstock, IL, where he could provide additional machining and metal working solutions to local area industries.

Upon Glenn’s retirement in 1976, his sons Bryan and Tim became the second generation to run the family business. They worked side by side, until Bryan’s retirement in 2009. 

Tim’s daughter, Kyra Tillman, returned to the family business in 2013 and in January of 2017, Kyra purchased the business from her father and has become the third generation to proudly own and operate BTM Industries, Inc.
