Ordered by grade, quoted by the line, and supplied through the authorized channel with the manufacturer’s test certificates. Send a grade and a size and we will quote it. Send a material, a thickness and a welding position and we will name the grade first. We respond to any enquiry within 24 to 48 hours.

If your line list names a grade, send it as written. If it names a make, we quote the ESAB product that meets the specification and note where it complies.
Building an annual rate contract.
Send the line list with sizes and estimated annual quantities. We quote line by line, hold the rate for the contract period, and supply against a delivery schedule. Repeat drawdowns run against the contract reference, with no fresh specification each time.

Questions.
Can you supply against IS grades rather than AWS?
Yes. Several lines are classified to both: ESAB 28 and FERROARC carry IS 814 classifications alongside AWS A5.1.
Our tender says “or equivalent”. Can you quote?
Yes. We quote the ESAB product that meets the written specification and set out where it complies, clause by clause.
Do you supply consumables for machines you did not sell?
Yes. Consumables are typically not machine-specific.
Do you hold these in stock?
No. We carry sample quantities and order against your requirement. On a rate contract we supply to your schedule.
How quickly do you respond to an enquiry?
We respond to any enquiry within 24 to 48 hours.
