Decades of training, experience
John E. Anderson begins his career working pipeline construction in North America and in Algeria. He then spends the next two-and-a-half decades learning the welding, boring and machining trades.
We customize and tailor-fit our services to each project. Our creative machining, welding and fabrication services come from a full toolbox. And if we don’t have the tool? We’ll source it from our wide network of partners. If we can’t locate it, we’ll make it from scratch. It’s one reason companies call us when everything else has failed.
Problem-solving isn’t limited to our shop. We can take our craftsmanship wherever you need us to be. From on-site machining and welding to custom fabrication, we go where you go.
Safety isn’t just a priority. It’s a necessity. We maintain compliance with ISNetworld, Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Department of Transportation (DOT).
