The cutting torch and gas control manufacturer is celebrating its 100-year anniversary through special publications, contests, and events.
Victor Technologies (St.Louis, MO) founder, L.W. Stettner, suffered the loss of an eye in a welding accident and set out to design and build safer products for cutting and welding.
Equipment was manufactured to exacting standards and Stettner’s designs resulted in numerous industry firsts in welding. For example, the company’s cutting and welding torches were assembled with screws, not soldered. The patented assembly method provided a stronger connection between components in the event of overheating.
“As we begin Victor’s 100-year anniversary, it is important to celebrate our shared history of authenticity, innovation and a deep connection to the end user,” says Martin Quinn, the chief executive officer of Victor Technologies.
Throughout the year and culminating at the FABTECH 2013 Expo in Chicago, Victor will be celebrating its 100-year anniversary through special publications, contests, and events.
