Tallahassee Welding

Tallahassee Welding and Machine Shop has been proudly serving our fine city and its surrounding areas for more than 73 years providing specialty products and much needed services. As a local growing business, it was founded and has been owned and managed by three generations of family working together over the past seven decades. Tallahassee Welding and Machine Shop, Inc. was established in 1942 by Buck Rozar and his wife, Jo. The pair worked together running and growing the business until 1959 when their daughter, Lucki, married George Jones. The addition of George Jones allowed Jo to retired and began the transition to the second generation of family management. The dynamic partnership between Buck and George was strengthened when Lucki joined the team in 1964. Under their guidance for the next twenty five years Tallahassee Welding continued to be a cornerstone of welding services and metal fabrication in the Tallahassee market. Bucks passing in 1989, followed by George in 1995 left the business in the steady and confident hands of Lucki and her son-in-law Kenny Small. The business was officially handed over to the third generation when Lucki’s daughter Allison signed on in 2004. Kenny and Allison Small have carried on the tradition of family values in business and the dedicated work ethnic passed on from generations of great leadership. Their understanding of the importance in separating work and home life sets a good example for other family owned business in Tallahassee.

Over the years, Tallahassee Welding has expanded and advanced far beyond the original vision of found Buck Rozar. Recognizing a more economical and environmentally sound process of metal finishing, Kenny expanded his operations and introduced Tallahassee Powder Coating, division of Tallahassee Welding & Machine Shop, Inc. in 2003. In 2007, Kenny and Allison expanded yet again and now offers a full service Machine Shop. Tallahassee Welding specializing in ornamental metal work.
