Arcon Welding Equipment, LLC was founded in December, 1999 by Gunnar Ennerfelt and Goran Hedberg. Their goal was to build a welder that was unique in design and construction, with the primary aim of building the most rugged welder possible for tough industries such as Gas and Oil, Construction, Shipbuilding, Mining, Power and Chemical Plants. 

Goran was the co-inventor of the inverter-based welding power supply in the late 70’s and designed the welder that became known in the United States as POWCON.  He designed the Workhorse series of welders for Arcon Welding Equipment.

Gunnar brings his many years of manufacturing experience to Arcon, being the founder and owner of Toroid Corporation of Maryland, a manufacturer of a wide range of transformers and related products.
