Reshoring, sometimes called onshoring, the process of relocating manufacturing or production operations from offshore sites to a company’s home country, began about a decade ago and accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Post-pandemic, it remains a sound business strategy for six key reasons: 1) Enhanced Quality Control; 2) Supply Chain Resilience; 3) Intellectual Property Protection; 4) Greater Cost Effectiveness; 5) Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility; and 6) Improved Collaboration and Innovation.

Our commitment to achieving The Perfect Weld every time for customers like you in the Aerospace, Defense, Energy, Medical, Semiconductor, and Automotive industries is demonstrated by the nearly 30 certifications we hold and our compliance, or self-verified conformance, with numerous standards. Our certifications include ones issued by AWS, AMS, ASME, FAA, Nadcap, EASA, SAE, and ISO – an alphabet soup of accreditation bodies. We are also ITAR-registered and compliant with CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification)          

Why select Electron Beam Welding (EBW)?

Advance Welding offers a wide range of manufacturing processes for design engineers and supply chain managers to select from, including EBW. Our team of seasoned professionals is here to help you weigh the benefits and tradeoffs of EBW as compared to other processes that we offer such as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW/TIG), laser beam welding (LBW) and others. A key characteristic of EBW is high energy density: the minimum volume of metal is melted with the minimum heat input for a given depth of penetration. Another important characteristic is that EBW occurs under vacuum within a chamber.

In this year of our 45th anniversary, now is an ideal time to reflect on how commitment to continuous improvement, teamwork, and partnerships with customers like you have allowed us to reach this milestone. 

Advance Welding is very pleased to announce that we are an approved special process supplier for Northrup Grumman Marine Systems.  Our Supplier and Quality System has met or exceeded Northrup Grumman’s requirements.

We're excited to announce the acquisition of the KTI, Inc. Electron Beam Welding and Laser Beam Welding Business Units.

When an FAA customer asked us to repair a bearing seal support with only two days' notice, we welcomed the opportunity to prove its dedication to satisfying their expectations.

A client of ours in the Aerospace/Aviation industry recently contracted us to provide electron beam welding, heat treatment, and inspection services for the radial drive shaft assembly highlighted here. We are certified to G.E. P8TF1 CL-A requirements and are uniquely capable of completing this project with a high level of integrity.

When a Mississippi manufacturing client asked us to produce 30,000 assemblies for an air conditioning application, our team of designers and welders set right to the task of helping out. 

The assembly process consisted of laser welding and electron beam welding.

Demonstrating our expertise in using cutting-edge technologies to their full potential, we produced the double spring assembly highlighted here for a client in the automotive industry.
