About S&S Welding & Fabrication LLC

S&S Welding & Fabrication LLC operates from Lexington, South Carolina, where it was founded in 1987 by brothers Kenneth and Cecil Shumpert after they were laid off from Champion Road Machinery. The business began in a two-car concrete-block garage with their mother managing the office, and it has remained family-owned through multiple expansions. The company provides comprehensive welding and fabrication services, including MIG, TIG (aluminum and steel), and stick welding, CNC plasma and oxy-fuel cutting on a 70-by-240-inch table, general machining (milling, turning, threading, boring, keyways), metal shearing (up to 5/8-inch mild steel, 3/8-inch stainless), bending (up to 14 feet), rolling (up to 10 feet wide), and pipe/angle/channel rolling. It also offers portable welding via three crane-equipped service trucks, portable line boring, dustless blasting with a rust inhibitor that delays flash rust for up to 72 hours, and powder coating in a 12-by-10-by-30-foot booth with a matching oven. The shop houses a 15-ton overhead crane and multiple welding stations. S&S serves a broad customer base across the eastern seaboard, including county governments, emergency services, small and large businesses, and farmers. Its project experience spans fresh water and wastewater treatment plants, emergency vehicles, farm equipment, tractor trailers, filter presses, conveyors, fencing and gates, water tanks, and construction equipment such as backhoes and bulldozers. The company emphasizes a "no job too big, no job too small" philosophy, citing its commitment to detail, safety, and customer satisfaction as differentiators. It highlights its multi-generational family involvement, continued investment in equipment like the CNC plasma table and dustless blasting systems, and the ability to mobilize portable services to job sites.
