Where we come from
Superior customer service, hardwork, and innovation is the backbone of our company.
Over 50 years ago, Miller Welding & Machine Company was a three-person business in a 2,400 square foot garage. David R. Miller worked in the shop with his brother Lawrence and his wife Sara did all of the bookkeeping. David started the business in 1963 with a vision to consistently accommodate his customers needs. At first, Miller catered to the reconditioning needs of the mining and lumber industries in Western Pennsylvania.
