Welding Material Sales was founded in 1978 by William C. DePaul, who was involved primarily in the sale and distribution of specialized welding consumables. In 1984, Mr. De Paul saw a growing need for small spools of welding wire. These spools would later be used with the new MIG welders that were being introduced into the US market via Italy. An all out effort was organized to design the production equipment that would enable the company to produce and sell these spools.
