Visit the site of the largest known urban wind tower in North America at Lincoln Electric.

Lincoln Electric is the world leader in the design, development and manufacture of arc welding products, robotic arc-welding systems, plasma and oxyfuel cutting equipment. The Company also has a leading global position in the fume extraction systems, brazing, soldering and alloys markets. Lincoln has 41 manufacturing locations, including operations and joint ventures in 20 countries, and an extensive worldwide network of distributors and sales offices covering more than 160 countries.

The 2.5-megawatt wind turbine was constructed in June 2011 at Lincoln Electric’s main manufacturing campus and World Headquarters in Euclid, Ohio. The project demonstrates the Company’s commitment to wind power sector leadership, environmental performance and energy savings.

Lincoln Electric will supply safety glasses for everyone as well as tour headsets for the walk over to the turbine to ensure that everyone can hear. Safety toe shoes are not required; however, we have to ask that no open toe shoes are worn for the Automation plant tour. Tour is open to the first 44 registrants.
