After the partnership ended, he established Bob Meucci Customs (BMC) in his father’s workshop.
In the mid-1960s, Meucci established his first cue-making company, Bob Meucci Customs (BMC), in Chicago.[4]
On March 24, 1975, Meucci founded his cue company, Meucci Originals, which became the foundation of the company that continues today.[6]
