A wide range of electrodes ranging from General Purpose Mild Steel to Stainless Steel Cast Iron to Nonferrous Hard Surfacing to Low Hydrogen are manufactured on our modern equipment in both companies. LOMELT, Low heat input electrodes for repair and maintenance applications complete the range of stick electrodes. We also manufacture wire for CO2/MIG welding process as well as stainless steel wires for GTAW (TIG) and GMAW (MIG) processes & flux-cored wires.

We offer a complete welding solution including Welding Equipment which includes a comprehensive range of Conventional, Thyristor and Inverter based machines for MMA, MIG, TIG, SAW and Air Plasma Cutting processes. Our new range of Inverter based machines are designed as per advanced Inverter technology and these machines are highly energy efficient, compact, lightweight and maintenance free.
