The Fabrication Technology segment is responsible for the creation, refinement, production, and supply of various consumable products and associated equipment. This includes items for cutting, joining, and automated welding, alongside gas control apparatus. Their offerings encompass welding consumables like electrodes, cored and solid wires, and fluxes, crafted from a range of specialized materials. Additionally, they provide cutting consumables such as electrodes, nozzles, shields, and tips. Products from this segment reach markets including infrastructure, wind energy, marine/life sciences, pipelines, mobile/off-highway machinery, and the oil, gas, and mining sectors.
