Why Three Turns?
Built from a name.
Backed by a reputation.
3T stands for Three Turns—the three turns made around the barrels. The name comes from the western and barrel-racing community around the company, and it points straight toward work 3T understands: horse trailers, gates, arenas, trucks, trailers, and hard-used equipment.
Four generations of welders, builders, mentors, and business owners stand behind the work. 3T carries that family line forward from Minnesota to Montana.
Felix NetterGreat-grandfather
Founder of Netter Machine Shop in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
Eric NetterGrandfather & mentor
Founded Dispatch Welding & Erectors and Electrical Builders in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
Creek KuserFather & primary field mentor
Founder of Substations, Inc. in Colstrip, Montana. Creek gave Netter most of his hands-on experience in substation and field work.
Netter KuserFounder of 3T
Fourth-generation welder and founder of 3T, providing custom fabrication, welding, design, and field service from Helena, Montana. Also founder and host of the podcast Kicking Ass with the Working Class.
Helena is home base, and the standard remains the same: understand how the equipment gets used, solve the real problem, and build something worth putting the family name on.
Three turns. One reputation. Built to last.
