FULL SERVICE CUSTOM RACK MANUFACTURER

Essex Weld Solutions began with a handful of customers and a production plant in Essex , Ontario . From the start , people were our strength . We have selected a team with a focus on integrity and trust , which is the foundation that we have built our reputation on . Keeping our customers ’ needs at the center of every decision is what has led us to strive for excellence in everything we do . These values have been instilled in all our team members ensuring we all work together towards these goals .
Twenty years later , we have expanded to multiple locations across three countries . Our Canadian plants include Leamington and Essex , Ontario . We also have American plants in Laurens , South Carolina and Warren , Michigan as well as one plant in Durango , Mexico . All locations boast on-site engineering and full production capabilities so that we can provide in-house concepting , designing , prototyping , and large-scale production allowing us to be a one stop shop for our customers ’ projects .
Over one-hundred years of combined experience has taught us that investing in the latest manufacturing technology is necessary to provide top quality products . Our plate and tube lasers , break presses , robotic welders , and full powder coat system allow us to maintain high standards across all locations . Our manufacturing process is monitored from concept to delivery using
our own ERP system , Edata +, with real time inventory levels , production status , and barcode tracking labels . This enables us to maintain inventory of common materials at all locations and efficiently control quality and delivery timing .
Our innovative approach to the everevolving world of manufacturing means we never stop improving the service we provide our customers . As manufacturing shifts to a greater integration of robotic production lines , we have developed a Metrology team that exclusively handles the precise quality control required for those projects . These continuous improvement efforts allow us to expand our capabilities so that we can better serve our existing customers , and reach out to new ones , as their needs change , especially as the shift to Electric Vehicles continues .
