If you’re reading this, you’re probably already familiar with welding, the different types of welding processes, and the applications of those processes. Here’s a quick reminder or introduction, though: welding is a type of metal fabrication that through heat, pressure, or both fuses two or more pieces of material together. Metal welding is the norm, but it’s also possible to weld plastic and wood.
Most businesses relying on welding for their products outsource it, and in a state as large as Texas, a lot of that work goes out to small welding shops. However, they’re not always so easy to find. It’s not like looking for the familiar logo of Starbucks or McDonald’s as you drive down the road, and efforts like Google searching don’t always produce the results you need. Plus, even when they do, you have to spend a lot of time sorting and vetting them.
There’s an easier way to find small welding shops in Texas, and that’s the Sustainment way. Before we talk more about us, though, we want to highlight just a few of the small welding shops we can help businesses connect with.
