What Plasma-Tec Industries does

Plasma-Tec Industries Ltd. is a privately held industrial fabrication and machining services provider headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, founded in 1998. The company operates three integrated divisions — Fabrication (pressure piping per ASME B31.1/B31.3, pressure vessel repair and alteration per ASME Section VIII Div 1, structural fabrication including skids, platforms, and tanks, plus high-pressure mud piping for drilling rigs), Surface Enhancing Technologies / Cladding & Automation (Plasma Transferred Arc Weld (PTAW) overlay and welding automation for corrosion, thermal shock, and abrasion protection), and Machining & Design (CNC turning, 4-axis milling, surface and cylindrical grinding, and CAD/CAM design using Solid Edge ST8 and Mastercam X9, producing components such as HDD tooling, valve gates, turbine assemblies, and downhole drilling parts). Operations are supported by ABSA Certificates of Authorization (AQP-2809 and AOQP-7184), ASME and CSA B51 qualifications, and NACE International membership.

The company targets B2B industrial customers in oil and gas (primary), mining, pulp and paper, petrochemical, valve manufacturing, and horizontal/vertical drilling — concentrated in Western Canada. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements (custom fabrication, weld overlay/hardfacing, and CNC machining/design), priced via quote rather than disclosed tariffs, and closed through direct sales engagement via phone and email. The value proposition is a 'one stop shop' combining fabrication, overlay, and machining in a single Edmonton facility, with regulatory credentials that qualify the firm for pressure-bearing work in regulated industries.

Go-to-market is minimal: the company relies on a basic informational website (plasmatec.ca) as its only stated marketing channel, with no active social media presence, no disclosed partnerships or distributor channels, and no published pricing. Customers engage by phone (780-461-0041) or email ([email protected]) for project quotations. Headcount is in the 11–50 range and revenue is undisclosed; the firm appears to operate as a stable, relationship-driven regional fabricator rather than a growth-stage venture.

Core offering

Plasma-Tec Industries is an industrial fabrication and precision machining company operating three divisions under one roof: Fabrication (ASME B31.1/B31.3 pressure piping, ASME Section VIII Div 1 pressure vessel repair/alteration, structural fabrication, and weld overlay), Surface Enhancing Technologies (Plasma Transferred Arc Weld/PTAW cladding and welding automation for wear, corrosion, and thermal shock protection), and Machining & Design (CNC turning, 4-axis milling, surface and cylindrical grinding, plus CAD/CAM product design). The company serves oil and gas, mining, pulp and paper, petrochemical, valve, and drilling customers with project-based, quote-driven work.

Product overview

Plasma-Tec Industries is an industrial fabrication and precision machining company with three integrated divisions operating as a 'one stop shop.' The Fabrications division provides pressure piping, pressure vessels, structural fabrication, and weld overlay services using GTAW, SMAW, FCAW, and PTAW processes. The Surface Enhancing Technologies (Cladding & Automation) division offers Plasma Transferred Arc Weld (PTAW) coating services for corrosion, wear, and abrasion protection, along with welding automation for quality and productivity. The Machining & Design division provides CNC machining using Mazak and Weiler equipment, CAD design using Solid Edge ST8 and Mastercam X9, and manufactures products including HDD tooling, valve gates, turbine assemblies, and downhole drilling components. The divisions work together to provide fabrication, overlay, and machining all within one location for oil and gas, mining, petrochemical, and valve sector customers.
