Together strong

The decades-long relationship between SKS and its technology partner Leipold has resulted in technologically outstanding products and welding processes. In 1997, the early years of the cooperation, a welding process with a mechanically supported droplet release that allows practically spatter-free welding seams at high speeds was developed and patented – before any of our competitors could. 

Furthermore, the very close cooperation resulted in technologically mature products that are considered benchmarks in the market for automated welding technology in terms of service life. The owner of Leipold + Co GmbH, Volker Leipold, is now succeeded by his son Kay Bruns, who has already been contributing his expertise to the company’s technical developments for years.
