4 Corners Welding
History:
In 1986, Charlie Emswiler of Cheyenne Wyoming founded Welding and Machine to provide welding & fabrication services in Bozeman to expand his operation into Montana. Mike Pearson, while serving his country in the USAF (1983-1987),worked part time for Charlie at Welding and Machine of Wyoming. In 1986 Mike made a few trips to Bozeman to help Charlie get equipment moved in and set up. Charlie knew Mike was able to leave the Air Force in 1987 and asked Mike if he would move to Bozeman and run the welding shop. Mike took the job. After about 4 years with Welding & Machine, Mike earned the opportunity to buy Welding and Machine of Bozeman from Charlie. After a very humble beginning, good times and hard work, business is thriving. Starting out with just a two-man shop we now employ six. Around 1997 we doubled the size of the shop from 2000 square feet to 4000 square feet. With the growth of Bozeman and 4-Corners we decided to change our business name to better represent where we are and what we do.
