About Company

We are an AWS Certified fabrication shop specializing in manufacturing a variety of parts and components

Northside Welding & Machine LLC is an AWS Certified fabrication shop in Torrington, Connecticut specializing in manufacturing a variety of parts and components. The shop is owned and operated by Eric Pleil, an experienced welder and machinist with over 15 years of experience.
Eric started his career by building motorcycles and soon became known as an expert. As his reputation grew, others began hiring him to work on their bikes and various other projects.

During these early days, he collected an impressive array of tools and machinery turning his bike shop into a full-service facility. At this time, the shop’s business was primarily helping local manufacturers and machine shops as well as fabricating and repairing just about anything imaginable.

Continuous improvement always being a focus in Eric’s early career, he would work in local shops providing production welding and machining parts. These experiences honed his skillset and led to a highly specialized position in TIG welding and running Prototrak equipment producing parts for the aerospace industry.

Whether it is fabricating parts for global businesses or small local customers, Eric and his team are always willing and able to get the job done professionally and in a timely manner.
