Lincoln Electric: A Legacy of Pioneering Welding Solutions

When it comes to welding, Lincoln Electric is a name you can trust. For over a century, they’ve been pushing the boundaries of welding technology, helping welders across industries work smarter, faster, and more effectively.

A Century of Welding Expertise

Founded in 1885, Lincoln Electric has been a key part in the welding world for over 100 years. They made their mark early on with the invention of the first commercially successful arc welder in 1890, and since then, they’ve continued to lead the way with pioneering solutions. Focusing on constantly improving welding technology, Lincoln Electric has cemented itself as a leader in the industry.

A Comprehensive Welding Solutions Provider

Lincoln Electric offers a wide range of welding equipment designed to meet the needs of both hobbyists and professionals. Here’s a look at their key product range:

• Arc Welders: From the user-friendly EasyMIG range for beginners to the high-performance Power Wave systems for industrial applications, Lincoln Electric provides machines for various welding processes and every skill level.
• Engine-Driven Welders: Lincoln Electric’s engine-driven welders, ideal for construction sites, maintenance tasks and remote locations, offering reliable power wherever you need it.
• Plasma Cutters: The user-friendly Tomahawk series plasma cutters deliver precision cutting on conductive metals, perfect for projects that require accuracy and speed.

A Focus on User Experience and Education

Lincoln Electric understands that the success of a welder is not just the equipment. They’re also committed to helping welders improve their knowledge and skills. They offer an extensive range of educational resources, including online tutorials, welding guides, and training programmes. So, whether you’re just starting or looking to improve your skills, you’ve got all the resources you need to succeed.

A Global Presence with Local Support

Operating globally, Lincoln Electric ensures their products are available to welders everywhere. With a strong network of distributors, like Rapid Welding, and a dedicated support team, they make sure you have access to expert advice and genuine replacement parts whenever you need them.

A Commitment to Sustainability

Lincoln Electric recognises the environmental impact of manufacturing across every aspect of its business. They’re committed to sustainability throughout their operations, focusing on several key areas:

• Energy Efficiency: Lincoln Electric continually develops welding equipment that minimises energy use, helping to lower your running costs and reduce environmental impact. In 2022, Lincoln Electric achieved a 1% reduction in energy intensity compared to 2018.
• Sustainable Manufacturing: They use eco-design principles to reduce waste and ensure that their products are built with sustainable materials where possible.
• Responsible Disposal and Recycling: Lincoln Electric encourages the recycling of welding consumables and promotes responsible practices for disposing of equipment at the end of its life. In 2022, Lincoln Electric’s recycling rate was 75.9%. Their goal for 2025 is 80%.

Why Lincoln Electric Stands Out

Lincoln Electric’s commitment to innovation, extensive product range, education, and strong focus on sustainability means they’re a top choice for welders around the world. Whether you’re working on a small DIY project or managing large-scale welding work, they’ve got the solutions you need to get the job done right.
