Heacock Welding is a third generation, family owned company that was started by Ed Heacock as a blacksmith and welding shop in 1939. The original location was just a few blocks from where it is now. Ed's son Bob worked with him in the shop and learned to weld.
In the early 40's when the war started, Ed taught welding and kept the shop going and Bob went to work in the shipyards as a welder. Bob then went on to join the US Air Force and served until the end of the war. When Bob came home he returned to work with his dad at the welding shop. The shop moved to it's present location in the late 40's and Bob continued to run it. Ed in the mean time set up a new shop in Anaheim, CA, which, when he retired, was sold. Bruce Heacock is Bob's son and is the current owner of the company.
Bruce began working with his dad and learned the business while in college. When Bob retired Bruce took over the operation of the company. Bruce became a horse owner as his grandfather and father before him. Bruce is fond of saying the family has never not had horses. Bruce progressed to be an accomplished horseman riding dressage and 3-Day Eventing. Of course to go along with his horses he needed a trailer and found that he could not find one that suited him, so he decided to make his own. Thus the business expanded into the manufacture of horse and cargo trailers.

Having been in on the beginning of the era of travel trailers and the sales and installation of hitches and towing equipment Heacock Welding has the experience and history that few can match. Our current employees have all been with us for many years and are knowledgeable about and take pride in the work they do.
