Technical Arc

Technical Arc was founded in 1992 as a manufacturer, welding equipment repair centre & parts wholesaler.

We quickly gained a reputation for our technical abilities and good solid British made equipment. Our machine range expanded rapidly and we produced equipment for Oerlikon & other leading global manufacturers.

Today we have grown into the largest British manufacturer of conventional welding machines, 40% of our staff are qualified in electronic/electrical engineering and we have a combined experience of over 90 years in the engineering of welding & cutting machines. 
We also have very active service & repair departments including an electronics workshop which deals with PCBs & complex inverter based machines, a transformer winding shop & a large general service, repair & calibration department.
We hold the largest range & stocks of universal spare parts for welding & cutting machines in the UK. 
All in all we feel our technical abilities are unbeatable.


Six years ago we purchased an industrial unit and moved out of our rented units. Having recently extended this unit we now operate from a 20,000 square foot freehold premises. Our premises are located on the east side of the Historic City of York, with excellent transport links and a central location in the British Isles we are ideally placed for serving the whole of the UK.

We also export our equipment to many contries including most E.U countries, varies parts of Africa, India, U.S, Dubai, Canada, Romania, Australia, New Zealand. We aim to increase our export business over the coming years.

Our long term commitment to the welding industry is second to none, we aim to supply some of the best equipment you can buy at a reasonable price, with absolute peace of mind. Even our small machines come with a guarantee of a minimum of 10 years backup and we guarantee to be able to provide 100% backup with parts and service for a minimum of 15 or 20 years on our industrial machines.

Over the last few years the welding supply industry like many other industries has had a difficult time & many changes have taken place.  Some of the well known manufacturers have pulled out of the UK or or gone out of business, many welding distributors have closed down or merged or had to change & become one stop shops for general industrial supplies.
Despite the changing market we have actually increased our market share, expanded our product range & increased our production.  We now supply 100's of UK & Irish welding distributors with our products and our UK market share of welding machines has overtaken some of the major global manufacturers.
