ESAB is a leading manufacturer of equipment and consumables used in welding, cutting, and joining applications. The company is one of the top three players in the welding solutions space, alongside Lincoln Electric and ITW’s Miller brand.
On an organic revenue basis, ESAB has outgrown its two main competitors since 2018.
As a result of its M&A-driven growth strategy, ESAB faces acquisition risk, including the possibility of overpaying for acquisitions and challenges integrating acquired companies.
