Lincoln Electric was founded on December 5, 1895 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. An initial investment of $200 was required to develop and market a unique DC electric motor for industrial applications. What started as a spark of ingenuity faltered and grew. In 1911, John C. and James F. Lincoln invented and launched their first variable voltage electric arc generator, an innovation that launched Lincoln Electric into a new technology and industry that would ensure its future success.
