Barrie Welding & Machine Ltd.

Barrie Welding & Machine had its origin in 1945 when it was initially started as a three-man shop operated out of a horse barn near downtown Barrie. The company experienced a steady growth and by 1955 had outgrown its original location. The business relocated to Anne Street in Barrie where it continues to operate today.


In 1974, after almost thirty years in business, the original owners were ready to retire. A group of four employees formed a partnership to purchase the company and Barrie Welding & Machine (1974) Ltd. was born.


"Barrie Welding" as it is known in short by those in the industry has always been a service-based company, and as such the new owners were eager to develop the service available to their customers. In a program of continuous growth and development, Barrie Welding improved and enlarged its base services of welding and machining but also branched out into new areas.


The company formed several completely new divisions including a large press repair facility, a CNC machine shop, an automation house, a coil handling technology department, and a design department. Two sister companies, Western Mechanical and Western Hydraulics, were also established. Because of their desire to better service their customers, Barrie Welding has become one of the largest "one stop jobbing shops" in Ontario.


From it's humble beginnings, the company has grown to over 200,000 square feet and currently employs 200 skilled people. Staff includes representatives from many trades including machinists, millwrights, welder/fitters, electricians, PLC programmers and designers just to name a few.


The company has achieved CWB, TSSA and ISO 9001 certification to better serve its customers.


Barrie Welding & Machine has developed its market area and now sells its products and services all over Canada, the U.S.A., Mexico, and Europe.
