Voestalpine Bohler Welding Selco Srl

What Voestalpine Bohler Welding Selco Srl does

Voestalpine Bohler Welding Selco Srl is an Italian-domiciled (Padova) subsidiary of voestalpine AG, the Austrian steel and technology group listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange since 1995. The entity operates within the voestalpine Böhler Welding Group, headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany, and traces its operating heritage to 1979, with the underlying Böhler Welding brand established in 1926. The company designs and manufactures arc welding power sources, systems, and related electronic components — including the proprietary MultiLine Three Level inverter platform used across the TERRA NX and URANOS NX series — alongside welding consumables (stick electrodes, TIG rods, solid and cored wires, submerged arc wires and fluxes, strip cladding, metal powders), automation (orbital pipeRunner, wheelRunner/railRunner carriages, CO-BRO collaborative robots, PSR robotic welding), brazing products (Fontargen), personal protective equipment, and finishing chemicals for stainless steels. The portfolio spans over 2,000 products and supports processes including MIG/MAG, TIG, MMA, plasma cutting, and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) with deposition rates up to 5 kg/hour for metal 3D printing.

The commercial model is a one-time sale of consumables, equipment, automation, and accessories, distributed through a hybrid channel: over 4,000 distributors and 50+ direct subsidiaries serve enterprise customers globally, while the JOIN! Online Webshop addresses SMB and individual buyers. Go-to-market is channel-partner-led with application-engineering support via weldTECH service centers and the WELDINGacademy training platform. Primary serving verticals are Power Generation (thermal, nuclear, wind, hydro), Oil & Gas (upstream, downstream, pipelines, LNG/LPG), Mobility (automotive, railway, shipbuilding), Heavy Fabrication (cranes, lifting, yellow/green goods), and Warehouse Logistics, with secondary verticals in Steel Works, Mining, and Tooling. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; transactions are coordinated through distributors or the webshop. The welding division operates within voestalpine's High Performance Metals Division as part of approximately 500 group companies across 50+ countries and five continents, with 2,500+ welding-division employees globally.
