About Weld Solutions
Our beginnings
Weld Solutions traces its roots to 1965, when George DeLalio founded EB Industries on Long Island. With an $8,000 loan from his mother, he bought a single electron beam welding machine and went to work for the growing aerospace industry. Over the next three decades, EB Industries built a reputation for quality, reliability and the ability to weld what others could not. .
Learning From the ground up
George DeLalio believed his son should start at the bottom, so in 1976 Steven DeLalio's first job at EB Industries was sweeping floors. At 16, he and Dave Hove, EB's future General Manager, are shown here learning the technology on an early low voltage Wentgate electron beam welder. He learned the business from the shop floor up, and that is the foundation he brings to Weld Solutions today.
Transitional Leadership
In 1993, Steven took over from his father as President and owner of EB Industries. Under his leadership, revenue grew eightfold and profits grew twenty five times. Drawing on his background in automation, he won large volume, lower cost contracts and expanded the company into laser welding, laser hermetic sealing and automated electron beam welding.
A New Era
I n 2019, after more than four decades in the business, Steven sold EB Industries to MCM Capital. He wasn't ready to step away from the work he loves, so he founded Weld Solutions. Today it is a precision laser welding job shop on Long Island, built on the same standards and the same attention to detail that defined EB Industries for more than fifty years.
