About Contract Welding

Past

 

The company was founded by Harry E. Tinsley April 19, 1964. It began simply as a small shop on Michigan Avenue in Canton, Mi where Harry worked on heavy equipment. In the 1970s, he purchased a machine shop and began fabricating refuse equipment, which the company has become known for today. Contract Welding became a family business in the 1980’s when Harry was joined by his three children.
