To create shorter lead times, improve on-time delivery, and reduce supply chain environmental impact,
Esab has announced that it will begin the production of aluminium MIG welding wires at its facility in Vamberk, in the Czech Republic. The production will ramp up in the coming months, thereby establishing a ‘centre of service’ for European customers.
Aluminium wire production in Vamberk will undergo Esab’s stringent quality assurance and agency certification procedures to ensure the highest level of quality, and product performance will be identical to the current standards for Esab aluminium weld wires.
Internal material specifications for wire chemistry, cleanliness, feedability, and weld quality remain consistent with the company’s previous wires produced at their other global production facilities. Raw materials for the new production line will be sourced regionally in Europe, further reducing the environmental impact through decreased transportation-related fuel use.
