About us
A Burlington family business since 1960
Daniel Nielsen opened Dan's Welding & Fabricating in 1960. Three generations later his granddaughter Allison runs the shop alongside a crew of 28, ten of whom have been here more than twenty years.
That continuity is why plants across Southern Ontario keep coming back, the same people and the same standards, job after job.
