Founded in Cleveland, Ohio in 1895, what started as a spark of ingenuity flickered and quickly gained momentum. The invention and launch of its first variable voltage arc welder, catapulted Lincoln Electric into a new technology and industry that would drive its future success. Today, the company is recognised as a leader in arc welding and cutting, with its portfolio of solutions used around the world.

“The power source of any machine is one of the most important – if not the most important – component of a machine. We chose Perkins to power the new Vantage 441X because we can rely on the quality of their engines, as well as their global distributor and parts networks. So no matter where in the world one of our machines are located, we know Perkins support is close by,” said Nicholas Winarski, product manager – industrial engine drives.
