Welcome to Kenvil Weldery & Machine
We are a family owned and operated job shop that has been serving the tri-state area for over 60 years
Here at Kenvil Weldery & Machine, we offer a very unique service. Most job shops will only specialize in one of these three services; machining, welding, or fabricating - without the ability to be portable. We specialize in precision machining, certified welding, and sheet metal fabrication, all under one roof. We are experts in all three fields, and are well known for producing quality work on very difficult jobs. When no one else can do it, we can.
We have two fully equipped rigs and are capable of portable machining, portable welding, and portable fabrication. We can accommodate for jobs that require non-traditional work hours and emergency type jobs.
We have built a solid reputation on producing quality work and supporting the customer from start to finish.

Our Showcase
In this company, the customer deals directly with either Gery or Adam. There is no middle man between the customer and the person performing the work.
Gery Magura
Gery Magura served an apprenticeship in Tool & Die where he built precision air foil blades, core dies, and investment casting molds for state-of-the-art turbine engine blades. Before completing his apprenticeship program in 1980, Gery entered into a competition in Houston, TX where he won the title "America's Top Tooling & Machining Industry Apprentice." Shortly after his award, Gery opened his own business and extended his capabilities beyond Tool & Die. Today, he runs the cleanest, neatest, most capable job shop in the tri-state area. Gery carries several certifications and awards - there is no challenge he is not willing to accept.

Kenvil Weldery & Machine was established by Andy Magura back in 1946 under the name of Kenvil Weldery & Radiator Works. Andy had a welding repair shop in Kenvil, NJ, and had one welding rig on the road for portable welding. He was well known for his expert ability in gas and state-of-the-art electric arc welding.
Andy served 4 years in the army during World War II, where he fought hand-to-hand combat, became a supply sergeant, and assisted in the development of the mechanism used to slow aircraft upon aircraft carrier landings. After his return from the war, Andy worked for Reaction Motors in Rockaway, NJ where he helped develop the experimental X-15 rocket engine. This engine was used in the X-15 research aircraft to study unknown flight conditions beyond the earth's atmosphere; obtaining aerodynamic heating, re-entry conditions, and other forces at 4,000 mph. Andy also went on to perform exotic welding on the 1st surveyor that landed on the moon, holding over 10 welding certifications at that time.
The official business name "Kenvil Weldery & Machine" was opened in 1980 by Gery Magura in Dover, NJ. Successful business lead to the need for expansion, and in 1996 Gery moved to a new facility he had designed and built in Ledgewood, NJ. Since that time, Gery has purchased a number of new machines and equipment, making the business extremely versatile.
Our services range from machining new drawing assemblies to repair jobs on equipment that can not be brought to our facility. We have the ability to work with light weight exotic materials all the way through armor plating. If we do not offer the services you need, we have a very large network of businesses in the area.

Michael B. Magura
December 19, 1984 - February 3, 2021
Michael graduated Rochester Institute of Technology having obtained a Bachelor of Science with honors upon satisfactory completion of study in Mechanical Engineering Technology, graduated August 8th, 2007. He worked for Boeing Aircraft in Seattle, Washington and for Honda in Ohio as well.
He was working with his father, brother, and uncle at Kenvil Weldery & Machine. He was very well educated, and a talented computer drafter. He would design parts on computers using CAD systems and ran these projects to production using our CNC Plasma table. He also planned, designed, and built this website online.
Michael had welding and machining skills that will be greatly missed. He could work in the shop or in the field and adapt to any job. Mike would always be able to solve any problem with his engineer’s mind.
We all miss him dearly every day.
