"The difficult we can do immediately; the impossible takes a bit longer." - Otto Klemm, co-founder. Arno Schmidt, Jim Brennaman, Shannon Doughty Otto Klemm, Jesse Bell, Carl Brennaman The company is now located at 813 Winchester, and is still family-owned and operated by Larry Sr. and Laura Brennaman, with the help of their son, Larry Jr. Over the years, United Metal Spinning has manufactured spinnings for the lighting industry, custom car, truck, and motorcycle industries, food and vending machines, church wares, parts for popcorn machines, washing machines, aircraft, radar, and jewelers, artists, and metal fabricators. Although most of the work is subcontracted, it can still be seen today in the light fixtures in Kansas City - City Hall, the Jackson County Court House and even a few of the U.S. Navy's ships. In more recent years, our spinnings have been used in the Bartle Expansion, the Vatican in Rome, the RLDS Temple in Independence, Missouri as well as some of the brass and bronze work at the Ward Parkway Shopping Center, the University of Missouri Kansas City, and numerous other projects all over the world. In honor of Otto Klemm, United Metal Spinning has also created its own brand of excellent bakeware, called Klemmware, which can be ordered here. |
