RonG, good question. Our product has been in the market since 1966. It is used by most shipbuilders and many steel fabricators throughout Europe. We produce seamless flux cored wires that have very low diffusible hydrogen and very good welding characteristics. In a blind welding comparison most welders would select our product because of the puddle visability, low spatter, puddle manipulation. The next time you are having a "wandering arc" or "pumping" cut the wire off at the feed roll, pull the length of wire out of your conduit pack through your fingers. This same black smudge builds up in your liner and your tip. Now hold and air hose to the contact tip and blast air into the conduit pack. The puff of smoke is the lubricant that eventually clogs your contact tip, burns back your tip and causes you to swear! Our wire is copper coated...no lub job. Imagine what the lead man, supervisor or superintendent think when the welders are not welding because of these type of problems...of course the price was right, but what about down time, repair and wasted time! The local "distributor" has all the major brands in his warehouse but all produced using the traditional "folded wire manufacturing method". Keep in mind that the distributor bought from the manufacturer and sold it to the end user. We are new here and in the process of developing our distribution (Warehouse in Houston TX, Edmonton Alberta) we sell direct (who saves money). When the end users try our product and order our product the distributor wakes up one day and ask what happened and now he wants to get back into the middle. RonG if you would like to try a sample let me know!
RonG, I forgot to tell you that our MEGAFIL 713R (AWS/ASME-SFA-5.20: E 71T-12 MJH 4 product is approved by: American Bureau of Shipping, Germanischer Lloyd, Lloyd's Register, Controlas, Det Norske Veritas, Deutsche Bahn, Force Institute, Vd TÜV, Polski Rejestr Statkons and our factory is certified ISO 9001. Our prices are competitive.
What have you got that our locals do not? Does your products have SFA No.'s? I buy filler for my company, I work in the narrow confines of ISO, can you satisfy that and still beat the locals price? We have a few hundred welding supply houses around here that compeat pretty vigirously.
