About Us
In 1953, Christian G. Peifer made his first mission trip to Tanzania. While working at a missionary hospital, he was introduced to welding and helped build hospital beds. After returning home, he applied his new welding skills at a company that made wrought iron railing.Twelve years later, Christian Peifer formed his own company, Peifer Welding in Ronks, PA, initially specializing in residential ornamental railing, porch columns, gates, and spiral stairways. The company grew and diversified into commercial and industrial welding and fabrication. In 1972, the company incorporated.
In 2009, Christian Peifer visited Tanzania with his family. Here is shown outside the hospital with the beds he helped weld over 50 years ago. The beds had recently been replaced by newly donated ones.
