Founded 2019 · Val-Saint-François

A family
operation.

The story of MLC MetalFab, the Crawfords, the people who weld your parts — and the equipment they use to do it.

Our story

Rooted in
Val-Saint-François.

MLC MetalFab is the Crawfords. Joshua Crawford lives in Saint-Denis-de-Brompton itself — he knows the local farms, the seasons, and what it costs when a machine stops at the wrong moment.

The shop was founded in November 2019 — incorporated federally, address on Route 222. No big announcement, no marketing launch. A converted workshop, welders who love work done right, and a client list that grew by word of mouth.

Philip Crawford joined the structure — the family name is in the directors' registry. The shop remains human-scale: you call, you speak to the person who will touch your part.

"We treat every job as if the machine were our own."

No agency counter, no transfer between departments. The part comes in, the welder examines it, we give an honest price, we deliver when promised.

The team

The people who will
weld your part.

A serious welding shop means welders — not estimators who pass the order to a subcontractor. At MLC, the person who answers your call is the person holding the torch.

Lead operator

Joshua Crawford

Based in Saint-Denis-de-Brompton. Day-to-day operator of the shop — hands-on knowledge of the Val-Saint-François area and its agricultural-industrial client base.

Management

The Crawford family

Philip Crawford and Joshua Crawford on the directors' registry. Family operation — decisions are made in the shop, not in a corporate office.

The shop

A team of welders

Our values

What we don't
negotiate on price.

/01 — Honesty

We say what we can do

If the work is beyond our scope, we tell you before taking your money. If the deadline doesn't work, we give the real deadline — not the one that sounds good.

/02 — Delivery

When it's promised, it's delivered

A job-shop's reputation is built on delivery. A promise is a commitment. If something changes, you hear about it before it becomes a problem.

/03 — Quality

The part leaves when it's right

No part leaves with a sloppy bead to save thirty minutes. The welder who made the part is the one who inspects it — no separation between the work and the responsibility.
