At Southwire, our welding customers are very important to us. One of our primary goals as a manufacturer is to provide our customers with high-quality, competitively priced tools. We learn from welders in the field what products are needed to make their jobs easier. These ideas help us design and build new and better products. In essence, our customers are part of our Research & Development department, and without their input, we would be unable to continually offer great new products.
A couple of our newest products include hoists and welding hand tools.
