Welcome to Molnar

Molnar
Welding - where service means everything!
 About
Us
Early in 1975 my parents George
and Rose Molnar started Molnar Welding in Lantz, Nova Scotia. Dad had immigrated
to Canada from
Hungary in 1956 and had many different jobs over the years. But in
1969-70 at the age of 33 he went back to school to learn the welding
trade. He found work in the Halifax shipyards in 1972 and in 1975
he acquired his first welding machine. At that time he worked
nights and weekends to help raise five children.
In 1985-86 I took my own training
in the welding trade;
I found work right away and gained experience at many different jobs
until 1993, when I finally came to work with my father at Molnar
Welding. In 1995 we incorporated as a limited company and began a
steady growth.  In 1999 we bought out
a local machine shop and
continued to grow. Today we have twelve employees, a customer base of
over 300 and are still growing.

Directions
From
the #102 Trans Canada Highway, take Exit 8 for Elmsdale.

the railway crossing. Continue straight through the lights
and over the tracks, past the brick Library on your right, then
cross the Shubenacadie river. Wind your way past the
fields and woods along the river, watching for the Old Trunk Road
sign on your left. Take the turn and you'll quickly spot Molnar's large wooden sign on your right. |
