From our humble beginnings with a single machine in a shed behind a fabrication shop to one of the highest regarded Oil & Gas cladding companies in the world, C&J Cladding has stayed true to our core – “Technical Welding Solutions”. We were founded in 1995 by a welder who had the entrepreneurial foresight to see a need for independent specialty cladding in the Oil & Gas industry. During this time the automated GTAW cladding process was in its infancy, and C&J Cladding took on the challenge of developing this process in partnership with the OEMs who required it. In 2014 C&J Cladding was acquired by Ellwood Group Inc. which is a 110+ year old, $1 Billion family-owned business with a main focus on Steel Making and Forging. C&J was added to the group as an independent business unit with the purpose of staying true to its core philosophy of Technical Welding Solutions. The role of C&J is to be the Center of Excellence for Welding for the group, and to help develop cutting-edge processes for customers across all industries. We continue to support our Oil & Gas customer base with world-class quality and service, and are quickly growing our reputation in other industries as a welding center of excellence for difficult or complicated welding requirements. While a significant portion of our business is still cladding for the Oil & Gas industry, we have recognized the need to evolve our capabilities. Over the past several years, C&J Cladding has added many new technical welding processes to our service offering and expanded into many different markets. When we identify a new process or technique where a market needs high-level quality and service, we approach it differently than most companies. Our philosophy is to perfect a new process before taking it to market in order to guarantee the best possible outcome for our customers.
