The company was founded by Hermann Fliess in Duisburg in 1915. Within a few years the company established itself as a major manufacturer of covered electrodes and gas welding rods. In the mid-'20s Fliess exported quality products worldwide. In the 30s the development and production of wire electrodes for submerged arc welding began in the 50s for GMA welding. Fliess filed for numerous patents and invested in modern production. Today Fliess is an international manufacturer of welding consumables, following three simple principles: high quality, speed and uncompromising customer fulfillment. This sustainable development Fliess owes to the fact that in addition to the products the company is responsible towards employees, the environment and the society. Therefore, Fliess committed especially today clearly to the production site of Germany!
