Mission & Goals
ESAB Corporation is a global leader in welding and cutting technologies. It offers a comprehensive portfolio of welding equipment, cutting systems, automation solutions, and gas control technologies. In particular, the company manufactures a comprehensive range of welding consumables, including flux-cored wire, solid wire, steel wire, stainless solid wire, and welding electrodes. These products are primarily made from steel or stainless steel and are essential for various welding processes, providing strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Flux-cored and solid wires are used in automated and semi-automated welding, while electrodes serve manual welding applications, ensuring high-quality joints in industrial fabrication across sectors such as construction, automotive, and energy. ESAB was originally founded in 1904 in Gothenburg (Sweden) by engineer Oscar Kjellberg, who invented the world’s first coated welding electrode, a breakthrough that revolutionized metal joining.
