about us

Cody and Mike, owners of Mike’s Specialty Welding (MSW) have been servicing the mining industry since 1978.   Mike started MSW in 1994 when the area mines were laying off workers and as the price of Silver hovered for the next 10 years around the $5.00 mark, Mike set out to assist the area mines in repairing their equipment when the cost of replacing that same equipment was impossible.  As a native of the Silver Valley, Mike’s experience underground has proven beneficial when working with the areas local mines.  Cody joined the team in bringing a wealth of knowledge and a fresh outlook on the future of the welding industry.  Their affiliation with HECLA Mining, US Silver, Redpath & Cementation as well as area suppliers such as F&H Mine Supply, Northwest Mine Supply & Nasco has afforded them opportunities to perfect their equipment and techniques while keeping costs controlled and affordable.

Cody has a crew of 18 men and women who work diligently to provide their clients with the comfort of knowing whatever they produce from the shop will carry a guarantee of client satisfaction.
