How We Became an Industrial Mechanical Contractor
Barclay Mechanical, Inc. has almost 40 years of providing professional welding services and heavy industrial contracting services to customers in Utah, Idaho and surrounding states. The company’s roots go back to January 1, 1980 when founder, Michael D. Barclay, originally established Barclay Welding in Idaho. He had “welding in his blood,” so to speak. His father, Daniel P. Barclay, was a highly-skilled welder and Idaho State University’s 1962-1970 Department Head for its welding program.
As Barclay Welding grew, Mike changed its name to Barclay Mechanical, Inc. to more adequately describe the variety of services and products it provided, such as industrial mechanical construction. In 1993, Mike started another branch of Barclay Mechanical Services in Manti, Utah, which is now owned by three of his sons, John Barclay, Scott Barclay and Kenneth Barclay. Although the company’s welding shop is physically located in Manti, Utah 98% of their projects are outside of Sanpete County. In fact, only 50% of their work is in Utah with the other 50% being in other states.
