Be a part of our journey

In 2026, Böhler Welding celebrates 100 years of innovation, quality, and partnership. This campaign honours our legacy, connects with our global community, and sets the stage for the future.  

In our centennial year, we aim to celebrate Böhler Welding’s rich heritage, reinforce our brand identity, and inspire both our employees and our global partners. This campaign is a tribute to our past, a reflection of our values, and a spark for future innovation.  

Let’s make this centennial a powerful moment. One that reflects where we’ve come from and where we’re heading.  

The start of something special

In 1870, the Böhler brothers laid the foundation for a company driven by quality, innovation, and metallurgical expertise. Their name became synonymous with progress in steel and materials engineering, and it still continues to stand for excellence today. 

In 1926, as industrial manufacturing evolved, the Böhler brothers founded the manufacturing plant in Kapfenberg, Austria, and introduced the Böhler Welding brand. The plant in Kapfenberg specializes in producing welding consumables. 
For 100 years, Böhler Welding has continuously advanced welding technology, refining processes, developing new materials, and setting standards for performance, reliability, and safety. From generation to generation, innovation has never stood still.  

Over the last 100 years, the Böhler Welding brand has evolved from a specialist in welding consumables to welding equipment, personal protective equipment, and automation solutions. 

Nowadays, Böhler Welding represents a perfect alignment of welding machines, consumables, and technologies combined with our renowned application and process know-how. Our guiding principle for your requirements is a true and proven connection between people, products, and technologies. The result is what we promise: The Perfect Weld Seam for Lasting Connections.

Over the coming months, we will focus on the product developments and milestones from our past. We will take a closer look at products that have made history, at innovations developed to set new standards, and at solutions that have sustainably shaped and significantly influenced the welding industry.
