The company

Eighteen yearsworking to code.

ONIX, C.A. fabricates, welds and erects structural steel for Venezuelan industry. What sets the work apart is not the steel — it is the dossier that comes with it.

Some forge it, others sell it. We turn iron into a craft — welded and erected.

How ONIX works

  • Our own shop and field crew

    ONIX welders, fitters and foremen. The core of the job is not subcontracted and does not depend on anyone else's schedule.

  • Working to code

    Procedures qualified before anyone welds, and testing interpreted by a certified inspector. Every joint is backed by a record.

  • Fabrication and erection in one contract

    From shop detailing to the final lift. No grey area between whoever fabricates and whoever erects.

  • Engineering that crosses borders

    We deliver analysis, welding qualification and test interpretation online to clients in any country.

  • Steel section being prepared: the work that comes before erection.

Reach

How far
ONIX goes.

  • Anywhere in Venezuela

    The job travels

    We move the crew and the lifting equipment to your site anywhere in the country, and transport is part of the quote — it does not come back later as a separate line.

  • No geographic limit

    The engineering does not travel

    We deliver calculations, drawings and procedure qualification remotely, wherever your project is. This is the line ONIX serves outside Venezuela without moving a crew.

Codes and testing

The steel is what you see.
The dossier is what you read.

Eighteen years working to code. The difference between a structure that looks right and one that gets handed over is the dossier behind it: qualified procedure, qualified welder, and testing interpreted by an inspector. Without that dossier, the steel can be flawless and the job still fails inspection.
