Company
Lincoln Electric was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1895. An initial $200 investment was used to develop and commercialize a unique, direct current electric motor for industrial applications. What started as a spark of ingenuity flickered and gained momentum. By 1911, John C. and James F. Lincoln invented and launched their first variable voltage arc welder, an innovation that catapulted Lincoln Electric into a new technology and industry that would drive its future success. Each founding brother shaped the organization and left a distinct legacy that continues to define its culture, values and brand today. More than 125 years later, Lincoln Electric has become a global leader in arc welding and cutting and is renowned as The Welding Experts® worldwide. www.lincolnelectric.com
