Victor® Bulldog(TM) Plays Major Role in Metal Scrapping Industry


St. Louis, Mo. (Aug. 19, 2008) - Since its introduction in early 2007, the Victor Bulldog line of heavy industry scrap torches has become the torch of choice for many scrap yards across the country.

Victor, the world leader in gas equipment and pressure control products, offers a complete line of Bulldog torches for numerous scrapping needs. Victor designed the torch, lightweight, durable, and designed for use with natural gas or propane, based on feedback from end users. Bulldog torches are high flow capacity yet light for easy continuous use. They are also rugged to serve the scrap, demolition and construction trades.

"We wanted to build a torch that would meet the needs of the scrapping industry, which is a growing field and requires durable products," said Randy Niederer, Marketing Manager for Victor.

Eddie's Welding Supply, located in Stafford, Texas, is Thermadyne's largest distributors of Bulldog torches, and a major supplier of equipment to the scrapping industry. The company has sold over 350 of the torches in 2008 alone.

"The Bulldog line of torches is the best scrap torch in the industry," said Eddie Grossman, owner of Eddie's Welding Supply. "We have seen consistent growth month after month for these torches since we began offering them last year"

Victor oxy-fuel cutting and welding products include oxy-acetylene and oxy-fuel welding and cutting apparatus, torch handles, cutting attachments, straight cutting torches, regulators, cutting tips, welding nozzles, cutting and welding outfits. These products cover the full range of needs from general industrial to heavy duty mill and foundry requirements. Victor's gas equipment line is the most complete selection offered from any manufacturer and the only one offering users the (patented) safety benefit of built-in flashback arrestors and reverse flow check valves.
