Welding and fabrication businesses play a vital role in providing important services to a wide variety of industries. Interestingly, the growth in this field is being driven by the introduction of advanced technologies and the opportunities it offers. Such innovations will generate better quality, highly efficient outputs, improved energy management, and reduced operational tasks.
Thus, businesses are in need of welding suppliers and solutions providers that can facilitate them with the latest technology and processes. Helping such businesses with all their welding requirements is Prathamesh Welding Solutions, an industrial supplies distributor from Pune, India. Established in 1988, Prathamesh Welding Solutions is one of the leading distributors of manual metal arc welding electrodes, MIG wires/SS & MS Flux core wires/SAW wires and fluxes/abrasives, welding equipment, and accessories.
With over 35 years of experience, the company has matured to become a key player in this space by identifying and observing the pain points of its customers and offering the entire solution in accordance with the current technological advances. By providing the supplies, materials, services, and technical assistance, Prathamesh Welding Solutions creates a value addition to its customers. The company's tagline is, "We connect people with metals".
With the blessings of Late B.R Deshpande (Grandfather of Prathamesh Pophale) and under the able guidance of Rajendra
Pophale (MD), who started this firm with very humble beginnings, the company has thrived and expanded its wings all over the country and will continue to do so in the coming future.
Differentiating Factors
The main factor behind the success of this company is the quality of the service and products they provide. Timely deliveries of materials and supplies, offering efficient and apt solutions and technical assistance as per the customer requirements and above all, honesty in all the processes involved. “We are a solutions provider rather than a supplier since we offer a total package and the best welding solutions to our customers. We aspire to become a single point of contact for welding requirements for clients”, says Prathamesh Pophale, Director of Prathamesh Welding Solutions.
The company is the authorized distributor of multiple international brands like Esab India, Ador Welding, Bohler Voestalpine, And Cumi as well as Indian brands like Anand Arc, Royal Arc, Superon Tecknik India to name a few and deals with their flagship products. Many of the products are manufactured in India meeting the international market standards and Prathamesh Welding Solutions has played a significant role in supplying them by reaching out to the end users. For this reason, they have become the exclusive distributor of many of these welding brands in the region. Besides, being an authorized distributor also guarantees the quality of the products and materials since they are sourced directly from the manufacturing factories and eradicates the risk of product duplication. The company ensures the authenticity of these products and materials through test certificates and allotted batch numbers. These documents later come in handy for the technical team when the customer is met with an issue. This way, the problem is identified and resolved and the supply is rebooted without any delay.
The backbone of Prathamesh Welding Solutions is undoubtedly its team that brings over 35 years of collective experience to the table
