Two engineers. Decades of experience. Direct personal contact
M Squared was formed to design and produce products that are manufacturable and cost effective
How M Squared came to be
M Squared Manufacturing was formed in 2024 by Buzz and Jack Mosher, both retired mechanical engineers. The incentive came from decades of experience between the two — start up and growth of a multi-million dollar contract plastic manufacturing and assembly company by Buzz, and extensive electro-mechanical engineering design as Chief Mechanical Engineer for a large electronics firm by Jack.
After retirement, Buzz had the opportunity to provide private-equity financing for a product development company focused on the top-tier custom-car-building industry. As the new business began generating cutting-edge product designs, multiple instances availed themselves, and the company began to retain the intellectual property rights for several of the products. Based on the potential for these designs, M Squared was formed as an entity to take the one-off designs into tooling and processes for producing at scale.
Currently there are multiple programs ranging from single-component parts to multi-component electro-mechanical assemblies. The company continues to support the original start-up and has recently expanded its capabilities to the broader market — wherever a product needs design-for-manufacturing thinking and a path to high-volume production.

Co-Founder · Plastics & Production
Buzz Mosher
B.S. Mechanical Engineering, University of Arizona
Buzz has a background in administration, program management, and production coordination. He has a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Arizona and, over the course of his career, founded and ran a $120M plastic manufacturing company. During his tenure he was instrumental in developing the plastic components for the first Motorola MicroTAC and StarTAC flip phones.
He is a specialist in plastic part design for manufacturability — with an emphasis on tooling and processes. Since retiring from his plastics career, he has helped set up two start-up companies involved in the manufacturing of automotive-based components and assemblies.
