Innovation in Gases And Welding

Aug. 23, 2010 - PRLog -- Dewitt, NY – August 23, 2010: As a part of its continued effort to provide the gases and welding industry with the most useful and relevant best practices information possible, the Third Quarter issue of Welding & Gases Today features an article on innovation and finding new ways to make money. The article, called “Same Thing—A New Way,” features insight from some of the Gases and Welding Distributors Association’s most prominent distributor principals.

The article’s message is that when you hear the word innovation, the first thing that probably pops into your head is the latest technology or the newest invention. However, for many distributors in the gases and welding industry, the recipe for success isn’t in the newest gadget or the latest technological advancement. Innovation is not necessarily about the money you sink into research and development, it’s about the people you have, how you lead, and how much you get it.”

In the article, we talk to 12 distributors who “get it.”  They share some of their innovative ideas for growing their businesses as the economy struggles upward. They remind readers that innovation is not about reinventing the wheel. Innovation is not a big leap from where you currently stand. Innovation does not come from technologies, systems, or research and development. It comes from finding ways to add value to your customers. It’s about finding new ways to do the same things you already are doing.

Want to know how they’re doing it? The only way to get all of this valuable information is to head over to www.weldingandgasestoday.org and check out Welding & Gases Today, the online resource for young professionals in the gases and welding industry.
