Founded in 1903 as the Electric Railway Improvement Company, ERICO originally specialized in arc-welded rail bonding for the railway and mining industries. While the connections were a significant advancement, the heavy equipment required to complete the welding was a drawback. In 1939, ERICO completed the development of and patented the ERICO® CADWELD® Exothermically Welded Connection.
ERICO® CADWELD® Exothermically Welded Connections are specified by engineers and consultants for many industries and installed by contractors and site owners large and small all over the world. With Over 100,000,000 field-proven connections installed around the globe by our very satisfied customers, the “ERICO® CADWELD®” name has become synonymous with “Exothermic Welding” from the classroom to the job site.
