Precision Welding & Fabrication

What Precision Welding & Fabrication does

Precision Welding & Fabrication is a privately held, full-service welding and fabrication shop founded in 1983 by John Graziano and headquartered in Houston, Texas. The company designs, fabricates, and installs process piping, pressure vessels, structural steel, and a range of specialized industrial assemblies (pig launchers/receivers, meter skids, manifolds, pipe spools, pipe supports, platforms and access equipment, stainless and carbon tanks, stainless steel piping) for enterprise customers in oil and gas, petrochemical processing, industrial and commercial construction, data centers, defense/military, and food and beverage processing. Core production technologies span MIG/GMAW, TIG/GTAW, Flux Core, Sub-Merge Arc (SAW), Stick (SMAW), oxy/acetylene, waterjet and plasma cutting, plate bending and shearing, and hole punching, executed under ASME, AISC, AWS, and API-certified procedures by AWS-CWI inspectors and ASME-certified welders.

The firm operates three Houston facilities totaling more than 30,000 sq. ft. on a secure 10-acre yard with 100+ ton lifting capacity and a dedicated clean room for reactive-metal work. It carries a dense stack of sector certifications (ASME, AISC, AWS, ASCE, NACE, SSPC, ASNT, PFI, PVF, TAPPI, AIChE, APICS, TPA, plus a City of Houston Structural Steel Fabricator license and HASC membership) and reports a repair rate of less than 1/10 of 1% since founding. Field installation crews are available domestically and internationally at refineries and petrochemical plants.

Revenue is generated through project-based custom contracts awarded via a Request-for-Quote process against customer-supplied specifications, with multi-year contract cadences and entirely quote-based pricing. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting refineries, petrochemical plants, manufacturers, and data center / defense / food-and-beverage facilities. The company appears to be founder- and family-owned (John Graziano as President, Stacy Graziano as Comptroller), bootstrapped with no recorded funding rounds, and operating at a scale of 11-50 employees.
