Every industry sector sees new trends as technology advances and innovations hit the market, and as you might expect, many of the trends in welding have a huge potential for making this industry safer and more efficient. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the need for welders is predicted to grow by a whopping 26% by 2025. Let’s look at some of the trends in welding that drive improvement in the industrial welding services sector.

Welding Safety

Innovations in welding safety are always a hot topic in this industry. Safety is one of the most crucial topics because welding is already a dangerous job. It is always in the manufacturer’s best interest to take every precaution to ensure their worker’s safety. If workers are endangered, it affects every aspect of the workplace and the bottom line. Investing in welder safety and personal protective gear is expensive, but it’s a smart investment. This can help to prevent injuries and protect the employer from hefty liability suits. It also helps a company to build a reputation for safety concerns.

Custom Welding

Welding can be used to create a multitude of things. Gates, fencing, and awnings are some of the things you may not realize welding is used for. Our team of welders can create custom fixtures to utilize in your products. If you need a custom fixture for your commercial property, we have that covered, too. Using welding for these products creates a personal touch that big box retailers cannot provide. Everything is built according to your specifications and satisfaction. Custom welding services will become more popular as the desire for unique products increases. Not only that, but consumers are always looking for home improvement products that match their unique style and property measurements.

Improved Techniques

Even now, welding techniques are always being improved upon. We commonly use MIG, TIG, and stick welding techniques across the auto, construction, solar farm, and factory industries. When welders begin a project, we ensure that the process is streamlined. Improving these processes will create better results for our clients. The skills and knowledge of our welders are key to successful projects, and learning new ways to improve our techniques is also a part of this.
