An idea that
became a craft.

Lincoln Electric began in 1895 with electric motors. The transition into arc welding brought together electrical engineering, practical equipment, and a growing commitment to welding education.

These early milestones trace the beginning of a history that now spans welding equipment, consumables, cutting technology, and industrial automation.

  1. An electrical beginning

    John C. Lincoln founds the company to manufacture electric motors of his own design.

  2. A family partnership

    James F. Lincoln joins his brother in the business.

  3. The move into welding

    The brothers develop a welding set, opening a new chapter for the company.

  4. Welding on the move

    A portable, variable-voltage welding machine joins the product line.

  5. Learning the craft

    The Lincoln Electric Welding School is founded.
