What Soldexa does
Soldexa is an industrial welding and cutting equipment brand operating in South America under the umbrella of ESAB Corporation, a global leader in welding and cutting technology. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in San Borja, Peru, with 501-1000 employees, the company manufactures and commercializes welding machinery, equipment, consumables (electrodes, solid and tubular wires, fluxes), welding torches and accessories, and personal protective equipment (PPE) for industrial joining and cutting processes. Its product portfolio covers shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), flux-cored arc welding (FCAW/MCAW), submerged arc welding (SAW), carbon arc gouging, and CNC cutting systems including plasma cutting and beveling.
The company's core technology is domain-specialized industrial welding equipment and consumables rather than proprietary software or digital platforms. Soldexa's business model is B2B hardware sales through ESAB Corporation's authorized distributor network across South America, with direct sales support for enterprise customers, authorized service centers (Servicio Autorizado ESAB), and quote-based pricing. It serves multiple industrial verticals including heavy manufacturing, pipeline, wind energy, LNG, nuclear, shipbuilding, and mobile machinery. Revenue streams comprise equipment sales, consumables, and PPE/accessories.
Soldexa's go-to-market leverages ESAB's global brand recognition, its extensive regional distributor network, and an ecosystem of certified welding training schools under ESAB University (including CTSOL Soldexa Peru, Instituto de Soldadura Westarco in Colombia, and Fundación Latinoamericana de Soldadura in Argentina). Marketing is conducted through the ESAB regional website, technical content (articles, blogs, videos), webinars, and the ESAB University training platform. No revenue figures, funding history, or M&A activity for Soldexa specifically were disclosed in available sources.
