Why We’re Opening This Facility – and Why Sheffield

We’re opening this new Technical Competence Centre because our mission is simple: to be as close as possible to our customers, understand their challenges first‑hand, and support them with the fastest, highest‑quality service we can deliver.

By expanding into the Advanced Manufacturing Park — just four miles from Sheffield city centre — we’re placing ourselves right at the heart of one of the UK’s most dynamic manufacturing clusters. This location allows us to:

• Offer dedicated welding trials, demonstrations, training and servicing
• Provide faster, more responsive support through our on‑site Sales, Service and Application Engineering teams
• Supply service parts quickly and reliably
• Work more closely with manufacturers who rely on state‑of‑the‑art welding technology

This new centre strengthens our nationwide support network, complementing our existing sites in Milton Keynes and Kilmarnock. For us, Sheffield is the perfect strategic location — a city with deep industrial roots and a thriving advanced manufacturing community.

Being here allows us to stand shoulder‑to‑shoulder with fabricators, engineers and manufacturers, helping them tackle real‑world welding challenges. It also reflects our commitment to sustainable, future‑ready welding technology made entirely in Europe and built to perform for decades.
