Hi, my name is Chris Holdheide, and I’ve been a welder for nearly 20 years now. Not only that but I’ve also been running my own successful welding business since 2009.
So not only do I know how to weld but I also know a lot when it comes to the business side of things.
Over the years we’ve done a wide variety of projects from…
- Building gating for local hog and cattle farmers
- Building gating for local fairs in our area
- Building gates for an orphanage in Jamacia
- We even built metal trees for the Columbus Zoo
- Finally, we even make our own brand of skid loader buckets called NitroBuckets
In 2018 built our brand new 15,000 sq. ft. welding shop.
