The Portuguese business register lists the company under an earlier name, ESAB – Comércio e Indústria de Soldadura, Limitada, with filed accounts available from 2006. The Swedish parent company, ESAB Aktiebolag, also appears in the Portuguese tax register (NIF 980366062).
ESAB sits inside the Portugal ↔ Scandinavia business corridor that NorthSouth HQ tracks every day. A Gothenburg-founded welding group that now owns three Portuguese companies shows how Swedish-rooted industrial engineering still reaches Portuguese industry.
