The Lincoln Electric Company, has announced it is investing about $30 million in a new Welding Technology Center on its Euclid, Ohio campus.  The Center will focus on the training of welding educators and industry leaders to address the rising demand for welding education and career pathways in welding and advanced manufacturing.  Lincoln Electric will also dedicate resources to support welding training for veterans at this facility.

Lincoln Electric’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Christopher L. Mapes said, “This investment reflects our commitment to being at the forefront of welding innovation and education. The increased demand from customers, the skilled trades and technical schools to help develop the next generation of industry-ready welders has accelerated our investment in education and our new Welding Technology Center will allow us to demonstrate how our technical expertise and the value of our solutions can have a measurable impact on educators, students and customers.  We are thankful to our partners, including the City of Euclid, Cuyahoga County, the State of Ohio, and the many other institutions who are supporting this expansion as part of our ‘2020 Vision and Strategy,’ and who are helping us define the next chapter of our welding school’s legacy.”
