75 years
of innovation
It all began with the development and manufacture of electric
and gas welding equipment for Sweden’s engineering industry.
Since then, Elga has continuously developed effective prod-
ucts for applications characterised by high demands on both
the welder and the filler material.
Innovation has been the main thread Elga consumables in constructions

lifetime. The force needed to pull
out the wire from ProPac is con-
siderably less than rotating a
standard spool, thus causing
less strain on the wire feed

Significantly reduced spool

quality thanks to fewer re-
