ESAB ESAB - Baku, Azerbaijan

In 1904, Swedish engineer Oscar Kjellberg solved a common problem with a pioneering solution: he produced the world’s first welding electrode, a heavily fluxed electrode that substantially improved the quality of weld metal. With his founding of Elektriska Svetsnings-Aktiebolaget (ESAB), Kjellberg spearheaded more than a century of technological innovation.

ESAB reflects both a rich heritage of design leadership and the historic union of several welding industry leaders. In 1989, Alloy Rods Corporation, L-TEC Welding and Cutting Systems, All-State Welding Products, ESAB Automation, and ESAB Welding Products merged to create a powerful welding alliance. Together, we bring more than 300 years of experience in welding consumables and equipment manufacturing to bear, and we have become a most-trusted brand for customers around the world.
