As a logical step following his invention of the covered welding electrode back in 1904, Oscar Kjellberg founded ESAB. Since then, the company has constantly improved on existing methods and materials. At the same time, ESAB has developed new methods to meet the challenge presented by technological progress.

While it’s debatable whether he invented the covered electrode, the reliability and quality of esab equipment and consumables aren’t. They’re a world leader that produces some of the finest consumables and welding equipment available on the market today.
