ABOUT US
Our Story
Travis Plamondon, owner of Plamondon’s Welding/Fab, has lived and worked in Traverse City his entire life—but his roots run even deeper. His family has been part of the Traverse City and Leelanau County community since 1915. Today, the welding shop stands on Cherry Bend Road, right next door to the property where generations of his family lived and operated Cherry Bend Grocery starting in 1937. This isn’t just family history—it’s a legacy of commitment to the people and the place that shaped him.
Travis became a certified welder after completing his training at TBA while still in high school. His passion for metalwork and his deep dedication to the local community are what truly set Plamondon’s Welding/Fab apart.
20+
YEAR EXPERIENCE
Our mission is simple: to stand with our community. No matter how busy Travis is, he always makes time for the people who make this region what it is—whether it's a farmer with downed equipment or a local restaurant needing repairs in their kitchen. He gives back through his time, talent, and mentorship, teaching youth and supporting local schools and programs.
