About MLB Welding
Humble Beginnings:
When Marilou Brunelle moved to Alberta in 2007, she immediately found a new passion when her long-time friend and now business partner Denis Fugere- started teaching her the art of welding. It didn’t take long for it to become a skill that then ignited into a passion, and within a few short years grew into something much bigger than she could have ever dreamed. After attending Red Deer College and working hard to become a proficient, bilingual female journeyman welder- MLB Welding Inc. was born. Marilou continued to master her craft for several years working as an independent welder, until 2016 when she brought on Denis as a business partner. They worked tirelessly as a team over the next 4 years to grow and expand the company and its services.
MLB Welding Inc. has done what we set out to do and has rapidly grown into a successful, well-respected welding, fabrication and construction company- with services offered throughout Alberta. Our specialty services include onsite installation, plant services & food processing, which also extend throughout the USA & Canada.
This expansion also included a massive shop now located in Springbrook, Alberta. We are centrally located and well equipped to service all of your welding, fabrication, installation and construction needs.
MLB Welding Inc. continues to grow and partner with an extensive group of professional & experienced outsider contractors who are ready to help us service our next big job. So, whether your next project is big or small, we promise we will always have you covered.
