Weldcoa is a true US Manufacturer

Weldcoa is also a  Post-Sintered Lead Manufacturer. Post-Sintering is a process that greatly reduces effusion of gases through the lead material. (Effusion= leaking)  All of our competitors only “assemble leads.”  This means they buy their braided lead material, from a third party, and then assemble the leads at their facility.   As a manufacturer of Post-Sintered leads, Weldcoa is the only provider who keeps raw material in stock and can assemble at will.  This means quick turn around on leads, the best possible quality control and a highly trained staff that can assist you in choosing the right lead material for the job. All of our flexible leads are Post-Sintered, inspected, and then braided. Flexible Leads are then assembled, hydrostatic tested, nitrogen leak tested and then oxygen cleaned – all proudly by Weldcoa at Weldcoa.

We talked to a lot of very smart people who we respected that had gone through this process before, and the one name that kept popping up over and over again was Weldcoa's. Westair in California, in particular, had just finished a project similar to ours with Weldcoa and could not say enough good things about the experience.”

Ned Pontious, Presdient of Norco, Inc.

We set the bar very high when we specified the fill island’s performance requirements and Weldcoa came through. I doubt we’ll ever face production-capacity issues again, at least for the foreseeable future.”

Kevin Kimker, Director of Gas Operations at Cee Kay

“The new plant is making money, and when combined with the support and expertise we get by having Weldcoa as a partner, we feel that we really got a gem.” 

Eddie Mah, General Manager for Weldworld

We have a reputation for being the expensive guy. But when distributors do the short and long term analysis we always come out as the better value. Our products work right out of the box and they work well for a very long time - we guarantee it." 

Hector Villarreal, President of Weldcoa
