Built on Skill. Trusted in the Field. Ready to Serve.
Family-Owned. Field-Tested. Service-Driven.
Extreme Welding & Machine Services was established in 2005 in Ridgway, Illinois. The business started in a 60x40 pole barn
that the owners constructed themselves in Ridgway, Illinois. The primary focus of the business was welding repairs and
fabrication. However, the coal industry was booming in Southern Illinois, and the company found a demand for heavy equipment
repair. Services were expanded to include heavy equipment repairs, both in the field and in the shop.
Around 2010, the company
expanded their physical footprint and leased a large shop facility located directly next to a mine facility. By 2018, the
company had outgrown both facilities. Operations of the two facilities were combined by purchasing a 20,000 square foot facility
on 10 acres in Eldorado, Illinois. Services were further expanded to include hydraulic cylinder repair, fleet maintenance and
repair, crane services, metal sales, retail welding supplies, and gases. What started as a basic welding shop has grown into a
trusted resource for welding, fabrication, heavy equipment repair, crane service, DOT safety lane inspections, retail welding
supplies, industrial gases, metal sales, and more. The owners are committed to customer and employee satisfaction and rely on
positive customer experiences to continue growing the business into the future.
