This isn’t your typical welding story.

The story of the Industrial Kintsugi workshops began decades ago, on a WWII assembly line were an Assembly Line Foreman and Rosie the Riveter helped build P-47 Thunderbolts.  After the war, this young couple bought a nearby farm, the Foreman joined a local business called Industrial Contractors, set up a welding shop and carpentry shop in the farm; and Rosie and family started raising children.   Years later, one of the grandchildren would wind up working at the Enrico Fermi Institute High Bay, location of the famed UChicago Metallurgy Lab and machine shop, and then later worked at MITRE, one of the other federal laboratories, responsible for managing the Federal AI sandbox. 

Taking that knowledge, Industrial Kintsugi has invested in a TIG welding system that’s suitable for stainless steel, corten steel, aluminum, and titanium welding.  And with the help of our every helpful Weldbot AI, is speed-running a welding curriculum, with the goal of adding biomedical and aerospace welding to the business’s skill set and offerings. 

This is the business’s project portfolio and welding log.  Stay tuned, as we’re about to start working with aluminum, corten steel, and then titanium!
