Lincoln Electric centers establish new models for the welding industry

摘要

With the recent launch of distribution and training centers in the Chicago and Atlanta areas, The Lincoln Electric Company is upping the ante for welding equipment manufacturers, and leading the way to a new level of distribution and sales offices and training facilities for the industry. Lincoln Electric opened a 100,000-sq.-ft. sales, distribution, training and demonstration center in Atlanta late last year. That was the industry's first comprehensive sales and training facility. Lincoln Electric opened a similar, 110,000-sq.-ft. center in Chicago in April. These centers represent a concept that is new to the welding industry, but that is tried-and-true for other industries.
