Concerns over the risks of welder exposure to harmful welding fumes have initiated EU and national-level actions. The revised version of ISO standard 21904-3 defines the method for measuring the capture efficiency of welding fume extraction guns. Kemppi has conducted tests according to the new standard with Flexlite GF, a new fume-extracting MIG welding gun with convincing results.

Welding is an important skill that shapes our world, from the vehicles we use to the buildings we live in. This essential process also has its dangers, making safety a top priority. Knowing and following safety measures can significantly reduce accidents and injuries. Here, we explore major safety issues and the steps that every welder should take.

What is the real cost of a weld? Kemppi's comparison of laser, MAG and TIG welding goes beyond welding speed to examine the factors that shape production costs, from labour hours and consumables to heat input, finishing and rework. Discover how seemingly small differences can add up across thousands of welds, freeing production capacity, improving efficiency and strengthening the business case for laser welding.

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.

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.

Eurosatory 2026 highlighted a clear shift in modern defence manufacturing. While defence systems are becoming more digital, networked, and autonomous, their foundation remains physical. From armoured vehicles and artillery to industrial resilience, welding quality, steel structures, and production discipline remain paramount to defence readiness.
