About us

Mintgrade is a small Huron County based metalworking shop, specializing in welding and fabrication services. The company as it is today began in 2012, with a shop near Wingham, ON. Over the years, a large percentage of our work has been making parts for Marcrest Manufacturing, but we also do a variety of other custom jobs, repairs, and production welding. We have an assortment of fabrication and welding equipment at our shop, as well as close connections with other suppliers for services that we cannot provide in-house, such as sheet metal fabrication, advanced machining, powder coating, and zinc plating.
