Rattlesnake Machining Ltd. was founded in 2015 by Darren Keddie, a seasoned professional with a wealth of experience in the natural gas and manufacturing industries. Darren began his career in 1997 at Allwest Compressor Services in Medicine Hat, where he developed a deep understanding of natural gas compressor components, especially compressor valves. Over the years, he worked his way up from the shop floor to shop foreman in 2002, ultimately assuming multi-site management responsibilities following the company’s acquisition in 2006.
Building on this foundation of expertise, Darren established Rattlesnake Machining Ltd. in Medicine Hat, Alberta, which specializes in precision machining and custom metal fabrication for the natural gas industry. The company offers a comprehensive range of machining services for a wide variety of industrial needs with a commitment to safety, quality, efficiency, and timely delivery. Rattlesnake Machining Ltd. is known for its highly skilled team, many of whom have been with Darren since his early days at Allwest, including one team member who started at Allwest when that business began back in 1981. Since its inception, the business has grown to support a large number of industry-leading customers across Southern Alberta, Southern Saskatchewan, and North Dakota.
