ECON WELDING
HANDMADE WITH PRIDE, INTEGRITY, AND PROFESSIONALISM
ECon Welding & Fabrication was started in 2011 as a garage based hobby by Evan Condron. “ECon” is a play on words, using the letters of Evan Condron’s first and last name showing it to be synonymous with “economical”, which has been a long-standing virtue held by ECon Welding; To create high quality products at affordable pricing.
Evan initially picked up welding as a hobby in an attempt to build a go kart. With welding and metalworking in general being an expensive hobby, Evan started offering his welding services on Craigslist to try and help offset these costs. This side hustle quickly picked up, with local universities, architects, manufacturers, and countless others enlisting the services of ECon Welding.
About 2 years later, ECon Welding had officially outgrown Evan’s garage. He had received enough complaints from neighbors and his wife (who no longer had a parking spot in the garage) that he moved into a small, approximately 600 sq-ft space in Wauconda, IL. This space was not much larger than Evan’s garage, but it was affordable, and allowed ECon Welding to have a dedicated, and more official spaced.
ECon Welding continued to grow, and this space in Wauconda only lasted for about a year. In 2014, ECon Welding moved about 5 miles down the road to Lakemoor, IL, to a larger shop with more than double the space. This is where ECon Welding really started to take form. It was in this space that ECon Welding got into the metal furniture business and started hiring its first employees.
In 2016, due to unprecedented demand and significant growth, ECon Welding moved back to Wauconda into a 5,500 sq-ft facility, more than tripling its workspace. Even that proved to be
insufficient. With the exponential growth ECon Welding was experiencing in addition to added services such as powder coating, and a dedicated shipping and receiving department, ECon Welding purchased the adjacent unit in 2018, doubling ECon Welding’s space again with a little over 11,000 sq-ft. ECon Welding has remained here since.
Evan strongly believes he did not do anything special to achieve the success of this business. His wife, Abby, remained supportive through all of his decisions, including his decision to abandon a career in Mechanical Engineering to pursue a metalworking business. Her wisdom, support, and practical advice were and still are instrumental to the development of ECon Welding. Bust most of all, Evan believes God has a plan for ECon Welding. He firmly believes that the success and growth of this company is 100% a gift from God. In such, ECon Welding remains dedicated to treating its customers with honesty, integrity, and respect.
