Pete served his apprenticeship in England for a worldwide company manufacturing, selling and servicing machinery for the tannery and other industries. He traveled extensively gaining valuable experience that helped achieve and develop a "can do" attitude. An attitude that permeates the fabrication and machining company he founded in 1995 known then as Bulldog Machine and Engineering. Through the years Bulldog Machine has been built upon that foundation of broad experience and a solid "can do" attitude and fortified it with a strong group of partners that evoke the "we can do it and do it well" promise. Now known as Bulldog Machine Inc our capabilities have changed and grown but that same attitude still exists.
