We have some exciting news on the 4Front!
4Front’s Kelley manufacturing plants have officially earned Certified Welding Fabricator status from the prestigious American Welding Society (AWS). If that sounds like a big deal, that’s because it is. This certification is recognized worldwide as the gold standard in the welding industry, and it’s a testament to our commitment to quality, safety, and top-notch manufacturing.
So, what exactly does this certification mean? In simple terms, it means that our Kelley facilities have proven they meet the highest standards when it comes to welding quality and safety. This isn’t just a box we checked off—it’s the result of a rigorous evaluation process from a third-party audit that looked at every detail of our welding procedures and techniques.
For our customers, this certification is a big win. It means the products coming out of Kelley are not only built to last but also designed to perform under the toughest conditions. When you choose our products, you’re choosing reliability, durability, and peace of mind. This is what sets us apart and why our clients trust us time and again.
Now, achieving this certification wasn’t easy. Our manufacturing teams put in the hard work, undergoing extensive training and assessments to meet the strict criteria set by the American Welding Society. It’s a massive accomplishment that highlights the expertise and dedication of everyone involved.
And we’re not stopping here. This certification strengthens Kelley’s position as a leader and innovator in the industry. We’re always pushing the boundaries, adopting best practices, earning ISO accreditations such as 9001 and 14001, and generally staying ahead of the curve in manufacturing. This AWS accreditation is just one more verification of why we stand out in the world of welding.
Bob Hawk, our VP of Operations, couldn’t be prouder. He summed it up perfectly: “Without the incredible efforts of the teams in both Carrollton and Reynosa, this would not have been possible.”
As we celebrate this milestone, we’re more committed than ever to delivering the highest quality products to our customers. Thanks for being part of our journey—we can’t wait to keep raising the bar together!
