Uniweld Products opens INACAP welding lab in Chile

Uniweld Products Inc., a manufacturer of welding and cutting equipment in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in conjunction with Lucas-Milhaupt Inc. and Lucsol Spa, has opened INACAP’s welding laboratory in Santiago, Chile. INACAP is a private, nonprofit, integrated system of higher education comprising the Technological University of Chile INACAP, the Professional Institute INACAP, and the Center For Training INACAP. The lab trains youth on proper practices and technological advancements in the fields of brazing and welding.

Matias Valenzuela, commercial manager at Lucsol Spa, Uniweld’s authorized distributor in Chile, undertook this project in conjunction with INACAP’s Alexis Bravo, mechanical career director. Uniweld donated 10 oxyacetylene training stations with RUHL series regulators, welding handles, and brazing and welding tips to the lab. Both Uniweld and Lucas-Milhaupt provide ongoing training at the welding laboratory, and Lucsol works with key personnel at INACAP to schedule the training sessions.

INACAP’s overall mission is to train people with values and skills that will allow them to develop as responsible citizens and productive members of society. INACAP has more than 120,000 students and more than 270,000 alumni.
