Shipbuilding and offshore

Print Print
Within the shipbuilding and offshore markets ESAB is well known for its solution oriented customer support and training achievement, with the aim of maximising business through technology, products and services.

ESAB’s commitment to the shipbuilding and offshore segment is as old as the company itself. Company founder Oscar Kjellberg invented the flux-coated MMA electrode to solve a specific problem related to ship and boiler repair. This provided a technological lead that ESAB has never relinquished. Today, we are the market leaders in most shipbuilding and offshore-related welding and cutting solutions. This position is maintained through local presence and technical support in almost every country where shipbuilding and offshore construction exists.

The following keywords represent some of our specific areas of expertise within the shipbuilding and offshore industry: integrated cutting systems, narrow gap, CTOD requirements, duplex steels, high heat input welding, rutile flux-cored wires, solution-oriented customer support, training facilities…
