Absolute Machinery Corporation was formed in June 2000 by Michael Ortolano and Nathan Smith. Both had been actively selling machinery for well-known equipment manufacturers in the plastic processing industry for over twenty years. They recognized a need for an avenue for manufacturers to convert unwanted and idle equipment into cash as well as identifying a segment of the manufacturing community that had immediate equipment needs to boost production. They teamed up to start their own corporation to sell new and used equipment to the plastics industry. They knew that they would be able to provide superior service to their customers and to build a business that focused on the success of their clients.
