Our Story
Southern Arc Welding Services began in early 2016, founded in the back shed of my father-in-law’s yard with a single purpose: to offer truly individualized, one-on-one welding training in Houston.
Since then, we’ve come a long way. In 2026, we now operate from a new location sitting on 30,000 square feet of land, with a welding workspace eight times the size of where we started. The growth has been real, but our mission hasn’t changed.
What continues to set Southern Arc apart is our hands-on approach and commitment to doing things differently. We believe in creating an environment where every client and customer gets the attention, tools, and support they need to succeed.
Whether you’re new to the trade or looking to sharpen your technique, we hope Southern Arc becomes a place where you can build something meaningful, for your career and for yourself.
