The Company History

Our Beginnings & Our Growth

Orbital Technik ran its operations in the old building for more than 15 years (left) before it moved into the new building with 45,000 ft2 of space to better serve our customers (right).

The new building is equipped with a training center of 3000 ft2 for orbital welder operation training & qualification, machine repair, maintenance & calibration services.

10,000 ft2 of space is dedicated for a live demo center with full orbital welding capability for piping & tubing welding – both thin wall & heavy wall.

For robotic welding & other welding automation, a total of 10,000 ft2 of space is allocated for its process development purpose.

And the rest of the balance space is for ultra high vacuum  & high purity components welding & assembly.
