Hi, I’m Ben Priem, owner and operator of Arc Rite Welding in Linwood, MI. I am a 6G Certified aluminum welder (by United Technical in Whitmore Lake, MI) with Class A CDL, and private pilot license. I grew up on Lake Huron, and have since had many diverse experiences working and traveling across the globe from here in the United States and Alaska, to South Africa and the Middle East, before returning to Michigan. At Arc Rite, I enjoy the unique challenges and adventures that each project brings as we fabricate custom designs and provide quality solutions that will stand the test of time. Being a signatory IBEW Local 17 union contractor, Arc Rite Welding has experience working with utility companies and welding for the electric industry. We are proud to offer the specialized fabrication/welding services and knowledge required for electrical substation projects. Currently, we are most excited about seeking additional opportunities to weld on the grid. Other specializations include marine applications and general fabrication. We are equipped with a self-propelled steel barge, excavator, and crane that allow us to tackle almost any job on water or land, from boat hoist installation and removal, to pile driving, lake shore preservation, site prep or demo tasks. Additionally, we have provided custom design and fabrication services for docks, gangways, railings, seawalls, and more.
