Every Job needs Skill: The NEW WeldSkill 250 & 350 MIGs
Welding machines can be complex and technical, requiring a great amount of skill and knowledge to operate. Yet with the increasing number of Aussie tradesmen and home handymen, demand is growing for a more simple solution for those basic welding jobs that still require optimum power and precision.
For this reason CIGWELD have released the ideal ‘tradie’ option with the new WeldSkill 250 & 350 MIGs. An easy to operate, heavy duty powerful MIG welding plant, that can be used for a broad range of applications.

Company History:

J.B Arnold commenced operations in Australia in 1922 as manufacturers of gas welding equipment, before establishing CIG (Commonwealth Industrial Gases) in 1935. CIGWELD branched off as CIG’s equipment division in 1985 with a focus on welding and gas equipment, before separating completely in 1989. Comweld Group Pty Ltd (trading as CIGWELD) was acquired by Thermadyne in 1996 and since then has expanded its product portfolio to include other prominent global welding and cutting brands such as Tweco, Thermal Dynamics, Arcair and Stoody. Most recently, our company name has changed to Victor Technologies, a celebration of the proud heritage within the strongest regional brands Victor and CIGWELD. Our new company name allows us to re-position the organization in the global markets and signals a return to our roots with the company vision of "Innovation to Shape the World".
