Change of name

The AWD has been the voice of the welding distribution industry for more than 35 year. At this years AGM it was agreed by the membership that the name of the Association should be changed to the Association of Welding Distribution to reflect the changes taking place in the welding equipment and consumables market, member profiles and the maturity of the Association.

At the same time a vote by members was carried to change the AWD status from an association to a limited company. Other changes include development of a new look, interactive website with more industry information, and easier access to the services that the AWD is able to offer.
