The Future of the American Welding Society


the American Welding Society has made a push towards pushing the welding industry into the future. Part of this effort has meant a re-branding of our logo and website. The new logo reflects a contemporary interpretation of the established AWS diamond insignia with modernized font and beveled metal elements. "Our new logo reflects a new era for the Society as it represents a more contemporary style propelling us into the future, while still maintaining a link to our rich history with our iconic diamond," said Lorena Cora, marketing director, American Welding Society. As part of a comprehensive re-branding effort, the new logo and website will assist the American Welding Society in communicating about the future of welding as a high-tech, highly-skilled industry.

"Small Jobs" are Important Too!

"I've got the Boat Trailer, but How will I tow it behind my 40-foot Gooseneck Trailer?" 


This customer required a 2-inch receiver hitch installed on the rear of his 40-foot 5th wheel trailer strong enough to tow a boat trailer. I removed unneeded plate materials, modified the receiver kit, and extended the original frame to accept the mounting plates of the receiver kit. It was then attached and bolted to the underside of the trailer. 







Ready for towing that boat trailer now!
