Randy Rinaldi
Crowsnest Pass
Rinaldi Welding opened in 1981 and moved to its current location in the Frank Industrial Park in the early 1990s. As their business grew, so did their customer base, and by 2010, they had outgrown their original building.
Community Futures Crowsnest Pass was ready to help when Rinaldi Welding built an addition which doubled the size of their operation. The expanded building enabled them to take on more work, including larger jobs and diversification into mining services. With the extra space, they now build off-road service trucks, mechanic trucks, and pump floats.
More work also meant the company needed to hire more staff, and they soon doubled their headcount. Expanding operations has increased its profile, and Rinaldi’s is now exporting mining products across Canada and into the U.S. Randy saw opportunities for his business and says Community Futures was very helpful in supporting his vision.
“Through the expansion, our name got out more, and we now service communities from the Arctic to Newfoundland and south into the U.S.,” says Randy.
With over 35 years of experience, Rinaldi Welding is going strong and proud to be part of the Crowsnest Pass community, providing services across the nation.
