Happy 50th Anniversary to Us
Our 50th anniversary was this week and we are not only celebrating five decades as a business, but five decades of being part of the Edmonton community. Northern Weldarc was founded on October 28th, 1971 by Allen Holtz, who purchased land at 5316 - 72A Avenue in 1975 for NWL’s flagship shop. His wife, Shirley, worked three jobs until the company stabilized. Their daughter, Gayle, the current president, spent most of her life working at NWL.
Home is where it started for us and our family values influence all aspects of our work - from the way we treat our people to the way we build our products to the way we lead. All of these have impacted the success of Northern Weldarc and our investment in manufacturing the highest standard of quality products.
Our team means so much to us and is an important part of what moves our values to the forefront of everything we do. Full of diversity and knowledge, we are grateful for their loyalty and commitment throughout the years!
