Lincoln Electric 102 years humming on Wicksteed

With the arrival of the Canadian Motorsport Expo next month, focus has again centred on one of that show’s most important exhibitors, Lincoln Electric. This leader in industrial electrical work and welding is a century resident of Leaside’s industrial east side, still at 179 Wicksteed Ave since it opened in 1911. Lincoln is being called the welding repair shop that is chosen almost exclusively by car builders and racers. Inside Track Motorsport News notes that Lincoln Electric introduced the world’s first variable voltage, single operator, portable welding machine. And over the years the company has progressed through the many changes in welding to the most advanced laser-welding technology. The motor sports show begins February 8, 2013 at the International Centre.
