How Rapid Welding and Kemppi Built a Partnership That Lasts
Rapid Welding has worked with Kemppi since the company opened in 1990. Co-founder and Managing Director Roy Edwards highlighted the principles behind that 36-year partnership, from choosing the right welding solution and supporting equipment throughout its life to addressing the skills shortage and finding the right place for automation and laser welding.

Safety that keeps up with welders' challenges and changing risks
Welding safety has become increasingly demanding. The hazards at the arc remain constant, but modern working conditions mean exposure can accumulate over longer shifts and in tighter indoor spaces. As a result, welding PPE needs to be treated as both protection for the welder and proof of compliance. At Kemppi, welding safety PPE is designed and validated in practice through clear requirements, welder-led feedback, and verified compliance with EU PPE Regulation 2016/425, CE marking processes, and relevant EN standards.
