Profile

Our Vision and our distinct set of Values drive the success and spirit of our organization. At ESAB, under Colfax leadership, we live our values. Our Vision and Values help us to make strategic decisions, allocate resources, and focus our choices every day.

The story of ESAB is the story of welding. When our founder Oscar Kjellberg developed the world’s first welding electrode in 1904, he launched a company whose innovation and uncompromising standards have helped create the history of welding itself.

ESAB prides itself as a great place to start or continue a career in the manufacturing industry. With locations throughout the world, ESAB is a global company with a rich tradition of industry leadership.

ESAB is a world leader in the production of welding and cutting equipment and consumables. Our innovative, world-renowned equipment and solutions are developed with input from our customers and built with the expertise and heritage of a global manufacturing leader.

ESAB is strongly committed to protecting and enhancing the health and safety of the people we work with and the environments where they work. We also strive to continuously improve our environmental, social, and economic performance.

ESAB's reach extends to almost every nation in the world, with more than 8,700 employees and manufacturing facilities across 4 continents.

We are committed to the international marketplace. A broad global presence is critical to our growth and to understanding and responding to the needs of our customers, as well as to developing the strong relationships necessary to long-term success. 
Our regional offices provide technical expertise and local support in key markets:

• North America
• South America

We're as eager to put ESAB gear in your hands as you are to have it. That's why we sell our products with distributors who'll give you the attention, support, and value you deserve. Their expertise will make sure that you're as happy with the purchasing process as we know you'll be with your purchase itself. To make things even easier, we've developed the online shopping list below. As you browse our site, you'll be able to click on any product to have it added to this easy reference sheet. When you're done, you can send the list to yourself or print it out and bring it in to the distributor of your choice.

The system uses an oxy-fuel torch to cut mild steel bar grating. By slowly feeding a carbon steel solid welding wire into the preheat flame, the torch creates a molten spray that instantly preheats the bars as the cutting oxygen stream approaches. An automatic rotation system turns the lower unit so that the molten spray is always leading the cutting oxygen. This allows the torch to move continuously in an automated pattern without stopping or slowing to preheat each bar.

The Hydrocut LX CNC Water jet Cutting System is a heavy-duty gantry waterjet cutting machine. This high performance machine is capable of carrying up to four water jet cutting heads over full size steel plates.

The Hydro-cut LX easily combines water jet with other cutting and marking processes, such as plasma cutting, plasma marking, oxy-fuel cutting, ink-jet marking or drilling. The Hydro-cut is the ideal system for manufacturers, fabricators, and steel service centers who need to water jet cut steel, stainless, or aluminum plates.

Pneumatic Punch Marker is a simple, rugged and reliable device. The marking process is similar to that of a industrial pneumatic hammer, using a hardened steel tip to impact impressions on the surface of mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum.

• Highly efficient at creating center punch for drilled hole location when plate must be drilled in a subsequent operation
• Scribed lines for secondary operations such as bend lines, layout lines or weldments
• Ideal for marking numbers or letters on cut parts if Vision CNC is equipped with Character Generator Option

The VBA Global PRO is the latest update to our line of plasma bevel systems. Now equipped with a Pneumatically Balanced tool-tip sensor and Z-axis lifter with encoder, the VBA Global PRO can produce accurate bevel cuts in materials from .25 to 1.5 inch thick (6 to 38 mm) as well as utilize Precision Hole Technology for bolt-ready holes in mild steel up to 1" thick. Bevel cutting can now be done on a dry table or under water for improved working conditions.

How to order The Scribe Marker is a simple, rugged and reliable device that is ideal for high-speed, high accuracy marking. The scribe marker uses an industrial hand tool with hardened steel tip to create single point marks or scribed lines on any metal. The scribe operates on ordinary compressed shop air, and is equipped with an air line oiler for reliability.
