Merrill Fabricators is actively looking for welders and invites former Hobart Institute graduates to come see what they have to offer in their custom fabrication shop located in Saginaw, Michigan.  

According to Doug Longenecker, Welding Engineer/Product Manager, “Merrill is interested in Hobart grads because, as a former graduate, I realize the strength of the HIWT training program and Merrill needs those highly-skilled welders in our organization.  We do all types of arc welding in our shop including flux cored, gas tungsten, gas metal, shielded metal, and submerged arc welding.  We offer competitive wages and a full benefit package.”

Merrill Fabricators has undergone rapid growth in the last few months.  Since January of 2006 Merrill Fab has grown from 30,000 square feet to 59,000 square feet.  This expansion will continue to grow to 76,000 square feet by June of 2008.  The equipment and capabilities have expanded as well through out this expansion.  Merrill Fabricators is currently in the process of acquiring the ASME “U” stamp to allow them to do code work and expand their market share. 

This one-stop shop for the customer has the capabilities to not only fabricate but machine as well.  Merrill Fabricators is unique in that they service so many different industries to include the energy sector, automotive, machine base, military and robotics industries.  They currently have 65 employees in this diversified setting and would like to expand to 100 by the end of 2006.
