FLIESS WELDING CONSUMABLES
SUPPLIER IN SOUTH AFRICA
Global Welding Excellence Since 1915
FLIESS is a German manufacturer of welding consumables with a history dating back to 1915. The brand specialises in high-quality welding filler materials, including MIG/GMAW wires, TIG welding rods, SAW wires and gas welding rods.
FLIESS WELDING CONSUMABLES
Founded in 1915 by Hermann Fliess in Duisburg, Germany, FLIESS has grown into an internationally respected manufacturer of premium welding filler materials and consumables. What began as a producer of covered electrodes and gas welding rods developed into a globally recognised brand known for innovation, quality and reliability.
Throughout its history, FLIESS has played a significant role in advancing welding technology. During the 1930s, the company pioneered the development of wire electrodes for submerged arc welding (SAW), followed by wire electrodes for gas metal arc welding (GMAW/MIG) in the 1950s. Today, FLIESS remains a fourth-generation family-owned company committed to German manufacturing excellence and driven by three core principles: Highest Quality, Speed & Flexibility, and Uncompromising Customer Satisfaction.
