OUR STORY
From Welding to Recycle to WTR Structures
WTR began with a practical idea: give shipping containers and repurposed materials a new purpose by turning them into functional, well-built spaces.
John Cook founded Welding to Recycle in Gainesville, Florida, in 2015. The company developed its experience by working with architects, engineers and general contractors across residential, commercial and industrial applications.
Today, as WTR Structures, we manufacture ready-to-deploy and custom container solutions that combine structural fabrication, practical design and long-term performance.
