Spotlight on JACKSON SAFETY* and BALDER* Technology at S&S show
KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* will showcase JACKSON SAFETY* welding safety products and BALDER* Technology side-by-side at this year’s SchweissenSchneiden, the number one international trade fair for joining, cutting and surfacing.
BALDER*, based in Slovenia, was acquired by KIMBERLY–CLARK PROFESSIONAL* in June 2012. Prior to the deal, the company had built a formidable reputation for developing and supplying cutting-edge welding helmets and auto darkening filters.
BALDER* Technology has been integrated into the existing JACKSON SAFETY* range of welding safety equipment. Future innovation will combine the best functionality and design features of JACKSON SAFETY* while leveraging the world-class optical performance of BALDER* Technology.
S&S is the international show for joining, cutting and surfacing equipment and services. It takes place 16 to 21 September 2013 at Essen in Germany.
KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* will exhibit on Stand A106 in Hall 9.1.
The KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* booth will feature a selection of innovative products with unique, best-in-class technology, including:
- JACKSON SAFETY* WH70/BH3 Welding Helmet with XL size viewing area and best in class optical quality Variable Auto Darkening Filter, available with advanced air-fed and hard hat options

- JACKSON SAFETY* WH20 Aspire Helmet with Variable Auto Darkening Filter, a new entry-level ADF welding helmet
- JACKSON SAFETY*R60 AIRMAX* ElitePowered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR), a new welding-tailored PAPR
Miha Pesek, Global Welding Leader at KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL*, said: “Following the acquisition of BALDER*, the company remained totally committed to the welding industry. Not only do we intend to expand into new regions with this business, but we are also in the process of developing and refining our offer so that we are supplying best-in-class technology across the whole category at a comprehensive range of price points, including the high end market.”
He continued: “This strategy reinforces the KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL*commitment to safety and helping our customers create Exceptional Workplaces. Our ethos is to drive healthier, safer and more productive solutions for our customers through innovation and the S&S show is the ideal forum to communicate our plans for the welding safety equipment sector. Visitors will have the opportunity to see our latest developments and talk with our representatives about the exciting future of our welding business.”
