A global maker of welding and cutting equipment, consumables, gas control systems, and robotics, ESAB supplies the tools that hold ships, buildings, and machinery together for customers in roughly 150 countries. Founded in 1904 in Gothenburg, Sweden, by ship engineer Oscar Kjellberg—who invented the world's first coated welding electrode—the name is short for Elektriska Svetsnings-Aktiebolaget, literally "Electric Welding Limited Company." After decades under other owners, it became its own publicly traded company in 2022.
Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. † Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
