About us
Firefly Welding traces its origin to the contracting division of IPWL.
IPWL was formed in November 2007 to manufacture the Firefly welding bug. After several years of development work, the Firefly welding machine was launched.
Over time, a small crew of bug demonstrators and trainers developed into a contracting division – a welding service specialising in welding projects using the Firefly welding bug.
In 2018, the contracting division of IPWL became Firefly Welding Limited, with a separate and distinct management team.
IPWL continue to manufacture the Firefly welding bug exclusively in the UK. Firefly Welding Ltd is authorised by IPWL Limited to act as the sole distributor of the Firefly welding machine.
