Amalgum Welding Shop

Our own brand · Assembled and backed in Kempton Park

AWS Welders by Amalgum.

House-brand welding machines specified by welders who use them. Priced sharp, backed locally, and serviced by the same workshop that stocks the spares.

One brand. Local warranty. Real spares. Every AWS Welder ships with a workshop-backed warranty.

Why we make our own

Because the imported ones didn't come with a workshop.

Every welding brand sold in South Africa is imported. When one breaks, the shop that sold it sends it back to the distributor. The distributor sends it back to the manufacturer. The manufacturer sits on it. Meanwhile you're not welding.

AWS Welders is our answer to that. We spec the machine, we assemble it, we hold the spares, and we back it from the same Spartan workshop that repairs every other brand in the country. When something goes wrong — and eventually something goes wrong on every machine — the fix happens on our bench, not somewhere overseas.

That's the whole play. Not cheaper for the sake of cheap. A house-brand machine at a fair price with real support behind it.

The range

Built for the work most welders actually do.

We keep the range tight on purpose. Inverter machines for the jobs most South African welders run day-to-day — home workshops, small fabricators, mobile welders, farm sheds. If your work sits outside that, we'll usually point you at an imported brand we stock rather than sell you the wrong AWS Welder.

The local advantage

Three things imported brands can't match.

Workshop-backed warranty

A warranty that doesn't send your machine overseas. If it fails within warranty, we honour it on our bench in Kempton Park. No shipping to distributors, no waiting for a manufacturer to open a ticket.

Spares held in Spartan

Every AWS Welder we ship has its full spare-parts inventory held at our workshop. Boards, fans, MOSFETs, rectifiers, control panels, cables — all local, all available.

Serviceable in-house

Out of warranty, we still service the machine on our bench. Same welders, same spares, same-day quote. That's not true of most imports once the warranty runs out.

Common questions

What people ask before buying an AWS Welder.

Is AWS Welders the same as the American Welding Society (AWS)?
No. AWS Welders is Amalgum's own brand of welding machines, made and backed in Kempton Park. The American Welding Society is a US-based certification body — unrelated. On our site, when we say AWS Welders we mean the Amalgum-branded range.
Where are AWS Welders assembled?
In our Spartan workshop, Kempton Park, Gauteng. Every machine is spec'd, assembled, and tested before it leaves.
What warranty do they carry?
Every AWS Welder carries a workshop-backed warranty covering manufacturing defects. Wear parts (consumables) aren't covered under warranty because they're consumables — but we hold stock of every one, so replacements are quick.
Do you courier AWS Welders nationally?
Yes, throughout South Africa. You don't need to be in Gauteng to buy one or to have it repaired later — repairs come back to us on courier.
Can I get a demo before I buy?
Talk to us. Most decisions happen on WhatsApp — send us what you're welding, we'll tell you which machine in the range suits you, and we'll be honest if an imported brand we stock is a better fit for your specific job.
What if my AWS Welder needs a part five years from now?
We hold the spares. The whole point of building our own brand was so we could still stock the parts long after most imports would have been discontinued.

Not sure which AWS Welder fits your work?

WhatsApp us what you weld and we'll tell you — including when the answer isn't an AWS Welder at all.
