Connect-ez moves critical welding from the field to the fabrication shop
Why? Welding of critical connections at the job site can be of inconsistent quality and difficult to inspect. Shop welding, in a controlled physical environment with diligent supervision, quality control procedures and multiple inspections, insures welded components meet the strictest specifications. The Construction Industry is facing a serious labor shortage with the greatest need being that of skilled labor, ie: welders. In fact it is projected that by the year 2024 we will be 400,000 welders short of the demand. Connect products provide confidence and reduce the need for on site skilled labor. Give us a call today.

"NEW" state of the art robotic welding!
To better serve the increasing demand of Connect-EZ, Tincher’s Welding has made the strategic investment in robotic welding. In February 2020, 2 new state of the art robotic welding stations went on line in the Harveysburg, OH manufacturing facility. Unemployment is at record lows and skilled labor is nearly nonexistent.
"By the year 2024, there will be a shortage of over 400,000 welders in the United States," says Randy Kelley with Tampa Tank Inc. He says the industry is evolving. "One of the things that's been really big in the welding industry is the introduction of robotics." But it’s more than the labor shortage; Quality is also very important to us. "The robotic welders provide consistent quality at a fraction of the time and we are able to keep the welding in a controlled environment" - Terry Tincher, Co-Founder Connect-EZ. If you are ever in the area we invite you to tour our facility. Connect-EZ and Tincher’s Welding are housed in a 35,000 SF Insulated Concrete Sandwich Wall Facility that utilizes all the Connect-EZ Products. Watch our robot in action!

Contractors
"At Star, we erect our own steel on construction projects. Using the CONNECT-EZ® system saved us labor time during the erection process. We saved man hours by having one person making two connections at the same time both safely and securely. CONNECT-EZ® will be used on future projects for our company. Anytime a product or method comes along to help increase productivity, while maintaining safety and extending value to the customer cannot be overlooked. We look forward to using CCONNECT-EZ® in the future"
- Kim Mulder, President, STAR Design-Build Contractors |
Engineers
"As structural engineers of building systems, we have concerns about the quality of field welding on critical structural elements such as the roof to wall and wall to foundation connections. Since field welding is not required for the PA nor the V connections, the issue is eliminated. I personally observed the load test for the V joist hanger and was impressed with the robustness of the elements."
- Jeff Needham, President, Needham/DBS |
ARCHITECtS
"As an architect and professional member of the construction team for numerous commercial building projects throughout the country, I recognize the simplicity of the CONNECT-EZ® devices.
