Our Story
Melerine's Machine Shop began in Calvin Melerine's garage making winches for the commercial fishing industry he grew up in. Eventually, he trained his sons and brought them into the family business.
In 2006, he passed away after having helped to rebuild the business following Hurricane Katrina and his son Don continues the shop to this day. |
Today we continue to provide the highest quality winches, shafts, and trap haulers for southern Louisiana's fishing industry. We sell direct or through Alario Bros in Westwego, and upon request can fulfill custom orders and ship elsewhere in the country.
