Vulkan Gas
Tools is a world-leading manufacturer of high quality gas catalytic heat
tools. Founded in 1996, Vulkan Gas Tools has developed considerable
expertise in gas catalytic heat tools.
The product
range comprises of professional soldering irons, blowtorches, hot-knives and
de-horner products. The latter is geared for veterinary and agricultural
markets. Our products are supplied into a variety of markets including
hardware, electrical, automotive after-sales, catalogues, agricultural
suppliers and technical product retailers.
Our soldering
irons were selected for providing the
“best value” and “best performance” in a worldwide survey
carried out by the “Classic Car Magazine” in August 2000.
Our products have been designed for ease of manufacture, to the highest quality standards to ensure that they are self-serviceable by the end user.
Vulkan is a
forward-looking, progressive company always on the lookout for new,
innovative concepts and ideas. It is an extremely flexible company that
works closely with its customers on product design, product adaptation, and
branding.
It is
Vulkan’s belief that a personal approach, and a close supplier / customer
partnership works to the advantage of both parties. Vulkan ensures that it
works closely with its partners from the initial point of contact to the
complete after-sales service that it prides itself on.
It is this friendly, personal touch that has set Vulkan apart from its competitors. At Vulkan there is a fundamental belief in the product range manufactured in house, and selling, and in the after-sales service provided to every customer, large or small.
In December 2004 Vulkan Gas
Tools acquired an injection moulding company. Mediplast supplies all of the
plastic components for Vulkan Gas Tools. As part of this acquisition, Vulkan
Gas Tools also purchased the worldwide manufacturing and distribution rights
for the Flex-e-Bag.
To ensure continuity of the most important component for the gas powered heat tools, Vulkan is also associated (through a shared management team) to Catalytic Industries Limited, who has the licensed, patented technology to produce the catalyst used for igniting the gas tools.
