Leister, the Swiss multinational leader in manufacturing plastic welding and process heat solutions, offers a complete range of quality products for industrial and professional users. Since several years, however, the market has expressed the need for solutions designed for a less intensive use and capable of combining an adequate quality with a convenient price. How could Leister’s high standards, which are absolutely not negotiable for the company, be compatible with the requirements of this market segment, with different needs with respect to industries and professionals?

The answer to this request is Weldy: a range of high-quality, user-friendly and affordable hand-held hot air tools. Leister’s designers, faced with the interesting challenge of combining quality and price issues, found the optimal solution by relocating production while maintaining high quality standards: since 2004 Weldy solutions are manufactured by Leister Technologies Ltd. in a cutting-edge factory in Shanghai, where Leister’s strict standards are applied in detail. Wedly’s heart remains in Switzerland, where the headquarters of the parent company are located and where Leister solutions are still manufactured: Leister Technologies AG distributes Weldy solutions worldwide.

The Weldy range includes hot air guns, manual and extrusion welders which may be used for many applications: heat-shrinking cable sheaths, removing paint, repairing plastic objects, welding pipes, manufacturing plastic containers, waterproofing roofs and floors, welding banners and tarpaulins. All Weldy solutions have some properties in common – they are light, user-friendly and fast – but also some specific aspects which make them suitable for highly diverse situations. Let us examine in detail the main products in this line.

The Weldy range of course does not replace Leister’s professional solutions for building and constructions, civil engineering, plastic processing, food packaging and the other numerous areas where these products find applications, but they allow many users to try out Leister’s quality. Weldy users will experience excellent performances as well as technical, sales and post-sales services, which are of course provided by Leister Technologies Italia with the same professional competence and helpfulness traditionally dedicated to servicing for the company’s solutions.
