Central Welding Supply in Renton, King County, United States | Welding

Welcome to Central Welding Supply, Renton, United States. Central Welding Supply, Renton was born in a very small building in Lynnwood, Washington in 1975 by two partners, Mickey Wilton and Dwight Sexton. Much like many other small start-up businesses, it was started on mostly guts and determination, and with what at the time was a substantial initial investment of $10,000.00 - Requiring both partners to put up nearly everything they owned as collateral for rent, overhead, and inventory. It was a risky venture for a then 32 year old Mickey Wilton who, with his wife Diane, had just settled into a comfortable life as a new family with a 3 year old son and a modest but affordable home in Everett, Washington. Though it would be easy to say he and his partner simply awoke one day and decided to open a new business it wouldn't tell the entire story -
They found and rented a very small building on heavily-traveled Highway 99 at 208th Street in Lynnwood, Washington and gave their company a simple name based on it being located centrally in-between Seattle and Everett - Central Welding Supply. Though the showroom floor was little more than a sales counter and a small office with a 10 ft by 10 ft cylinder exchange dock, with a little paint and a lot of hard work they opened for business.
2008 saw the opening of a full 5700 sq ft retail store in Smokey Point, WA. The new facility, located across the street from the Central Welding Supply Fill Plant and Corporate Offices, will enhance deliveries and customer service to the ever growing and expanding North Snohomish County region.
Additional acquisitions and growth plans for 2008, 2009 and 2010 are already in motion.
Though the company has grown from one small store to eleven locations, two divisions, and nearly 100 dedicated and experienced employees, Central Welding Supply has stayed true to its initial objective - Provide the regions most responsive customer service along with convenient locations and the best products, while holding on to the core values and traditions of a family-owned, family-run, local business. Currently Central Welding Supply is owned and operated by Mickey Wilton, President, Dale Wilton, Vice President, and Diane Wilton, Secretary-Treasurer.
