About
Lincoln Electric.
From an electrical workshop in Cleveland to equipment for welding, cutting, and learning the craft.
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.
