Finnish welding equipment manufacturer,
Kemppi OY, has entered into a sponsorship
agreement with the Etihad Aldar Spyker F1
Team for the 2007 season.
The sponsorship agreement will see the
Kemppi brand logo carried on the racing
team’s distinctive orange and tungsten
F8-V11 cars, on the team’s website,
supporting vehicles and printed materials.
Kemppi is also supplying the team with
four of its latest Mastertig MLS™ 2300 AC/
DC, digitally controlled single phase 230V
inverter power sources for both MMA and
TIG AC/DC welding. These will be used
by the F1 racing and test teams at Grand
Prix circuits around the world, as well as at
their R & D and fabrication workshops in
Silverstone, UK.
Mr John Frost, director of sales and
marketing (UK), said, “The Etihad Aldar
Spyker team’s distinctive colours tie in
perfectly with Kemppi’s own orange and
black branding. F1 racing globally touches
all our markets providing us with a perfect
vehicle to promote orange welding
power.”
The Mastertig
MLS™ 2300 AC/DC
is a very compact
and powerful
welder, and offers
a high power to
weight ratio. The
equipment is rated
230A at 40 per
cent duty cycle
and 170A at 100
per cent duty cycle
giving it enough
power to weld 5mm
aluminium.
It is designed
for high quality
aluminium welding
and can be used
both from a
mains supply or a
generator, making it
useful for installation and repair work both
on-site and in fabrication shops.
