Federal Minister for Small Business Brendan O’Connor visits.
K-TIG founder and R&D Manager Laurie Jarvis said the Minister had pressed the button to get the K-TIG welding demonstration started. And K-TIG showed the Minister how the solution could complete the entire weld in about three minutes whereas traditional TIG welding would have taken six hours. This is huge saving not just in time but also in materials.

During the visit, Don Alan CEO Donald Kay explained the enabling role that electronics plays in the whole welding package. As an integral part of the K-TIG welding solution, the controller designed by Don Alan for K-TIG enables automatic recording and storing data about each weld on a remote server for audit and control purposes. This precise quality control is vital to the oil and gas industries and to the defence sector where every element of construction needs to be profiled and precisely audited.
Organised by the Salisbury Business Enterprise Centre (BEC), the Minister’s visit also included Salisbury Mayor Gillian Aldridge, City of Salisbury CEO John Harry, MP for Makin Tony Zappia and Rob Chisholm, a Business Advisor with the Salisbury Business & Export Centre.
