What Pro Tech Welding does

Protech Welding is a Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) certified structural steel fabrication shop headquartered in North Vancouver, British Columbia, operating for over 25 years (founded 1998) and serving the Lower Mainland, Whistler, Sunshine Coast, Squamish, Lillooet, and Kelowna. The company is privately owned by two co-owners (both named Ryan) who are journeyman A-level welders and steel fabricators with more than two decades of trade experience. It produces custom structural steel for residential custom homes, restaurants, retail, commercial tenant improvements, and industrial/heavy equipment applications, and provides on-site installation crews experienced with BC's coastal and cliffside terrain.

The core technology stack centers on a Prodevco PCR42 robotic plasma cutting system (introduced 2021) with 7-axis operation, CNC plasma and torch integration, and laser measuring for precision structural steel cutting; HD-plasma plate processing up to 24' x 8' and 3-1/2" thickness for steel, stainless, and aluminum; a 36" x 16" structural beam processing line; and in-house 3D modelling using AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and Sketch-Up for design visualization and conflict detection before fabrication. The company is certified under CSA Standard W47.1 and staffs Journeyman "A level" welders and Journeyman Steel Fabricators. Project evidence includes a 100+ tonne structural steel custom home on a West Vancouver cliffside property and 45ft canopy installations for developers such as British Pacific Properties.

The business model is project-based custom fabrication: revenue is generated through one-time project fees with quote-based pricing tied to scope, materials, and complexity; no public pricing or minimum contract structure exists. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, driven by the website, Instagram presence, and customer referrals/testimonials rather than inbound marketing automation. The customer base spans general contractors (Resonate Construction, British Pacific Properties, Twin Lions Contracting), food & beverage chains (JJ Bean, Browns Social House), and cultural/government projects (Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Center), with repeat engagement from multi-location clients serving as the primary concentration signal. The company has no disclosed funding, no parent organization, and no institutional investors.
