Products & developments

MIG welding torch series launched The new Boostweld Swift series MIG welding torch features patented gas flow technology that delivers an increase in efficiency, saving a claimed 70 per cent of shielding gas at optimum velocity compared to the most popular MIG welding torches currently on the market. The power of the Swift means that it is effective at a greater distance from the weld joint, enabling the user to weld in tight gaps. The company evolved from a 40-year- old ODM business, which has produced equipment for established welding brands. Boostweld is a member of the American Welding Society, and its manual torch products are certified by TÜV NORD, with EN60974-7 according to CE certification.

The ergonomic handle is designed for perfect balance in the welder’s hand, creat- ing an experience of light- ness and manoeuvrability. Boostweld’s two-part nozzle reduces spatter, which means less time spent cleaning up after welding. Boostweld is dedicated to advancing the welding industry, built upon patented gas flow technology.
