Serving the Industry since 1990 with 60+ years welding knowledge.
Advanced Welding Supplies is the online division of Weld-Tec Industrial Services which was established March 5th 1990 as a welding distributor supplying Scotland. It was started by Ian Hay and two colleagues and is currently run as a family business with Co Director Scott Hay who joined the business in 2009.
The online division was introduced in 2016 to supply across the whole UK, however with a recent Website upgrade and recruitment of an E-Commerce Director we are now truly a UK and Global online welding supply store.
We are based in Tollcross Glasgow and are a trusted agent and supplier of many leading brands supplying welding equipment, abrasives, plasma cutters, gas equipment and much more. We aim to provide quality products at competitive prices.
We are a family run business, comprising of three family members and have another 4 staff who are pivotal in the smooth running if the business. We have a large warehouse where we stock and distribute welding supplies and all associated products and although welding is our speciality many of our products align with automative, rail, construction, fabrication and general building industries too. We have 3 company vehicles for local delivery and partner with leading courier services for UK deliveries and worldwide.
