Cosmo Industrial was founded in April 1994. It started as a very small business with two committed “welding rod salesmen” who are now the owners of a company employing 40 people. From this small entrepreneurial business, based in a house, they sold welding products, safety equipment and gas. The two partners secured their first agencies with Lincoln Electric for welding equipment and consumables; and Air Products for industrial gasses. A decade and a half later, it has retained these same two key brands in an expanded company. Situated in Silverton, Pretoria, it services over 3000 order placing clients on an ongoing basis. That excludes the “walk-in” customers buying tools, equipment, bolts and nuts over the counter. A recently built facility brings together all of the historical companies – United Gas, Cosmo Gas and Welding and Silverton Welding Repairs. In November 2009 a new fastener arm was opened. Cosmo stocks the full range of welding gases, shielding gases, acetylene, oxygen, nitrogen and argon to name but a few. These gases are not only available in cylinders, but are also supplied to large volume users in Air Products’ ultra-convenient Minitanks and Maxitanks. Their customer profile includes businesses from the petrol petrochemical, pipeline, mining, railway industries as well as heavy manufacturing and its associated body of contracting firms. With the opening of the fastener division a wider range of the industry can be serviced such as Mining, Construction, Railworks, Petro Chemical, Pipelines, Engineering and Agricultural. In addition the retail side services the keen “DIY” enthusiast. Cosmo Industrial has chosen Lincoln as its total solution welding equipment partner and is an authorised distributor of Lincoln products. Cosmo Industrial has also diversified into several other product ranges and services, including environmental systems such as industrial sweepers and welding fume extraction equipment. The Lincoln Electric Pro-Source environmental product range is used to prevent the inhalation of welding fumes. Johnson Workwear’s clothing range is also stocked at Cosmo Industrial. Cosmo is in the process of acquiring accreditation with the Merseta and the South African Institute for Welding to train and certify welders and gas technicians in its training facility or if requested, at a customer’s premises. Cosmo believes in setting the standards in the industries that they service. Document Dowloads |
