Voice-of-customer research is at the heart of the company’s new product development, allowing ESAB to make meaningful improvements that deliver real impacts.

GCE is the leading provider of specialty gas solutions, developing and manufacturing of all types of equipment for pressure and flow control of high-pressure gasses across various industries. ESAB Corporation acquired GCE in 2018 to set the foundation for a new growth platform with a strong global footprint.
With extensive experience in the handling of high-pressure gasses, GCE’s origins go back to the beginning of the twentieth century when oxy-acetylene cutting and welding methods were invented. Today’s product portfolio fits a large variety of applications for industrial, medical, life sciences, and specialty gas controls.
With the backing of ESAB Corporation, GCE is tackling these challenges head-on by not only enabling development of innovative products and solutions, but relentlessly looking for ways to drive continuous improvement and deliver additional value to customers, healthcare providers, and shareholders.
Our product lines are just as impressive as our global reach, with service expanding from basic pressure regulators to complex gas supply systems across all applications.
