Our History

Derek Tjoelker started Primo Fabrication in 2012.  He started welding and building projects out of metal in his high school shop class.  After graduating high school started working in the trades and gained experience in Architectural Metals, HVAC, Plumping, and Welding.  After discovering his love for TIG welding, working with S/S and food processing equipment he decided to take the leap and start his own business with his firstborn 1 month old.  Starting out in his small 30’ x 30’ pole barn shop he set the standard and expectations of hard work, high quality and excellent communication with our customers.  Now over 10 years later, and thousands of projects completed, not much has changed except the size of our team that shares the same values.
