About PWM

Pressure Welding Machines (PWM) Limited was formed in 1984 and is now the world’s market leader in the design and manufacture of cold pressure welding machines and dies.

We operate from two sites in Kent: our head office and die making unit in Bethersden, and our machine manufacturing and design facility, located at Longfield, near Dartford. Our on-going research and development programme ensures that we are able to offer customers the most technically advanced and comprehensive range of cold pressure welders in the world.

The PWM range includes hand-held, bench-mounted and trolley-mounted machines as well as free-standing, heavy duty rod welders. We also produce quality cold pressure welding dies of the industry standard type, manufactured to suit round or profile wires and rods, and can produce custom-made dies on request.
