About Arcion
ARCION GmbH was founded in 1993 in Fellbach and specializes in welding-related contract manufacturing. The company produces welded assemblies from a single source – from consulting during the design stage to production-ready components. The range of processes covers all fusion welding processes including laser and robotic welding, plasma, TIG, MIG/MAG and plasma-MIG welding as well as CMT, arc brazing, plasma powder build-up welding, re-melting and repair welding. The material focus is aluminium, alongside galvanized components. Customers come from the automotive industry, mechanical and textile machinery engineering, power plant construction (aluminium coolers) and pressure vessel manufacturing. The company prefers large-scale production runs, and also offers strength in medium and small series as well as prototypes and welding trials.
