Draft:Golden Bridge Welding Materials

Golden Bridge Welding Materials Co., also known as Tianjin Golden Bridge Welding Materials International Trading Company, is a welding material manufacturer with a global presence, headquartered in Tianjin, China. While the company has historically concentrated on generating income through the sale of welding materials, it has recently (in 2023) revealed plans to expand its operations to include the distribution of arc welding equipment and associated accessories.

The types of welding materials produced by Golden Bridge include stick welding electrodes, gas-shielded solid welding wire, flux core welding wire, self-shielded flux-cored welding wire, submerged arc welding wire, flux, and welding strips. Over the years, the company has established a distribution network to reach various regions worldwide, including the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America, although its primary stronghold remains within China.
