Welding is at the base of our products
CWB Certification
The CWB certifies companies, organizations, welders, inspectors, and welding consumables manufacturers through a review and qualification process to ensure that they meet the requirements for welding product production and safety codes.
The CWB is also a not for profit organization providing welding certification to standards such as CSA W47.1. and CSA W59 which Postech proudly subscribes to.
We hire ONLY welders that have acquired the competencies needed to be certified and we, with the help of engineers specialized in welding, review all of our processes to ensure conformity and the highest quality of products on the market.
