About Ruben Espinoza

"Quality is not an act, it is a habit." - Aristotle

Ruben Espinosa: Dedicated Owner & Visionary Founder of RAW Welding Inc.

With over 30 years of industry experience, Ruben Espinosa is the visionary founder and owner of RAW Welding Inc. Guided by a passion for the craft and a desire for entrepreneurial independence, Ruben established the company in 2005 with an initial vision to create positive change through exceptional welding work.

The story of RAW Welding Inc. began with Ruben and a small, dedicated team providing mobile welding services. In those early days, working late nights on projects like steam generators, he forged the company’s reputation for being determined, resourceful, and unwavering in its commitment to delivering quality work, no matter the challenge. This foundational dedication to hard work, integrity, and quality craftsmanship remains at the heart of the company’s culture today.

Under Ruben’s leadership, RAW Welding Inc. has evolved from its origins as a rig welder into a thriving, full-service industrial contractor. His strategic vision led to key milestones, including expanding the team, investing in advanced equipment like high-powered water jets, and adapting to new technologies to stay at the forefront of the industry.

A core aspect of Ruben’s journey is the value placed on family and partnership. The company name, “RAW,” is a tribute to both Ruben and his wife, Ana, whose support has been integral to his success. This family-driven approach continues with his son, Ruben Jr., who is now part of the business, carrying forward the same commitment to craftsmanship and customer service that defines the company’s legacy.

Today, Ruben Espinosa continues to lead RAW Welding Inc. with a focus on building long-term client relationships and upholding the highest standards of safety, precision, and reliability in every project. His journey reflects a relentless drive to transform a passion for welding into a trusted industry leader.
