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