Our original entry in the tool steel forum, was incorporated in 1965 to distribute, in Canada, a line of specialty welding electrodes manufactured by Welding Equipment and Supply Inc. of Detroit, Michigan. The Canadian company developed a comprehensive line of flux cored welding wires manufactured by us to very precise chemistry for the welding of tool steels and a line of buildup and hard-facing welding consumables.
In 1968 the company established a service welding facility to demonstrate the viability of advocated repairs to the steel,
automotive, mineral and other heavy industries.
The company has developed its own welding feeders, guns, furnaces etc. to work to very exacting standards in the harsh environments of these industries with minimum breakdowns, This facility also provides an excellent 'in house' test base for new products and procedures. It also gives our company a real feel for change within the industry.
Our corporate philosophy has always been to respond to customer requirements with service and products which offer high 'value to cost' ratio. While current economic conditions are not supportive of industry in general, this group of companies has been prospering and has even been able to expand its operations.
