Some companies have a name that is intentionally meant to be unique. Others have a background story that is just as interesting as the name. Tim Fulton, founder of Phelan, CA-based Alien Machine Worx (AMW), is in the latter camp, having believed from day one that AMW would be “making things out of this world.”
In reality, AMW started manufacturing custom, one-off CNC parts when it opened in 2002. Within two years, the company began to fabricate ductile-iron differential covers for off-road vehicles. These covers keep wheels turning and protect gears from dirt and moisture. AMW also makes rugged and functional covers for vehicle components like breather manifolds, hubcaps and shifting knobs.
