Exciting news! Techniweld USA has acquired Welding Material Sales!
Shared vision, creative synergies, larger footprint, and significant resources will redefine what it means to be a welding alloy manufacturer

Techniweld USA has acquired Welding Material Sales, the nation’s leading private labeler of Filler Metals. Welding Material Sales is known for its Blue Demon brand of filler metals and welding products, online social media presence, innovative welding safety products, and dominance in the small pack filler metal category. The collaboration brings together the strengths and resources of both organizations and as a result, Techniweld USA will now offer all of the combined customers a larger distribution footprint with 7 locations, a larger breadth of filler metals, and an even more expansive offering of specialty welding supplies.

Techniweld USA and Welding Material Sales recognized that the vision, culture, and values of their respective organizations were aligned. The combined ownership realized the value in being a family-owned business and are jointly looking forward to continuing this legacy. Like the name of Blue Demon’s innovative new welding gloves, this is truly a “game changer” for the welding market. The acquisition will create opportunities for all customers of the combined entity offering the entire Welding Material Sales product line along with Techniweld USA’s extensive offering of welding-related products. Terms and freight prepaid minimums for customers previously buying from both entities will merge over to Techniweld’s current freight prepaid minimums effective immediately. We believe the combination of both entities will make freight prepaid minimums much easier to achieve resulting in higher and faster fill rates for your customers!

We are honored Brian DePaul, President of Welding Material Sales, will join Techniweld USA as Senior Vice President and a shareholder. His entire organization will join the Techniweld USA team. Please continue to process your orders through Welding Material Sales in St. Charles, IL. By Summer 2024 we will maintain inventory of all top items at all facilities to ensure timely and high fill rates to improve delivery times and your overall customer experience. We look forward to your continued support with our new addition of Welding Material Sales to Techniweld USA.

Introducing the new Armour Guard passive welding helmets: The storm, Storm flip, and Panther helmets!

It’s hard to imagine that 3 of the best selling helmet designs haven’t been touched in decades but continue to be top sellers. We thought these ancient designs needed a Techniweld-inspired reinvented facelift, more comfortable headgear, and a price that lacks the shock!

We’re excited to launch 3 new passive welding helmets. 1 Large viewing area helmet - the Storm - with a 4.5 x 5.25” and 2 smaller viewing areas - the Storm Flip and the Panther - both with a flip front 2 x 4.25” viewing area!

All 3 helmets feature a sleek, contoured, lightweight polycarbonate & impact resistant thermoplastic shell design. The Storm and Storm Flip have the same ultra luxurious headgear as the rest of the newer Armour Guard helmets!

The 2x4.25” viewing area on the Storm Flip and Panther pair well with all of our Armour Guard lenses from the Clairvoyant 3.0 to the Arcane, Mage, SEER, or their gold equivalents!

Welcome to the Silver Rush!

Did you know Tesla has started using silver-plated electrical components in their vehicles to gain efficiency?
Silver is much more malleable than copper and therefore, when 2 pieces are compressed at a micro scale under normal pressures, there is more surface contact of the two pieces of silver than if 2 pieces of copper were compressed together
We started thinking Why couldn’t we reduce the electrical resistance in a welding system by introducing silver-plated copper welding accessories?

The Silver Rush is a line of Ground Clamps, Electrode Holders, Cable Connectors, and Lugs all designed for ultra high conductivity in welding operations. Join the silver rush, for when you want to make the most use of the power available to you!

Please contact your sales rep to find out more!
