USAWeld.com purchased by Stel of Italy

admin

Anyone think the new ownership is a good thing?Quote from the email I got from USAWeld.com.“Having a strong European manufacturer behind HTP will definitely benefit both companies in the future” said HTP President Jeff Noland. “Stel and HTP will operate as separate businesses after the acquisition and continue to serve their own customers, but being under the same ownership will bring big benefits in sourcing and product development. An owner with a long history of building high-quality welding equipment will offer HTP a pipeline of new machines to help HTP continue its growth”.Weld like a "WELDOR", not a wel-"DERR"

Reply:Link to the web announcement:  HTP STEL Purchase – HTP America - USA WeldProbably a good thing, stronger USA presence for Stel. If Jeff Noland wanted to retire at some point this may be better than being acquired by some other organization. Imagine if Airgas took over!Ernie F.
