Solutions

General contractors work across diverse job sites and applications — from building structural steel frames and custom staircases to completing on-site repairs and installations. Messer Canada supports general contractors with reliable welding and cutting solutions that are easy to transport, fast to set up, and built to perform. Whether operating in a fabrication yard or directly on a construction site, our gases, consumables, and safety equipment help contractors meet tight timelines without sacrificing quality or compliance.

Metal Fabrication Gases

Contracting projects require gas solutions that are both versatile and dependable. Messer supplies Odorline and Ozoline shielding gases for MIG and TIG welding of carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, making them well-suited for field fabrication, railing installation, and structural repairs. For cutting and heating applications, Messer’s acetylene provides consistent flame performance for bolt cutting, pipe work, and general metal preparation. To support portability and ease of use on job sites, these gases are available in smaller K size and WS cylinders.

ACETYLENE MegaTOP WS

Part Number: 108180

Acetylene (C2H2) is one of the most popular fuel gases used for welding and cutting.

ODORLINE ODOURIZED OXYGEN MegaTOP K

Part Number: 109060

Odorline odourized oxygen from Messer addresses the very real risk of fire or explosion by providing you with a clear warning smell if oxygen concentrations unintentionally rise.

ACETYLENE WS

Part Number: 100003

Acetylene (C2H2) is one of the most popular fuel gases used for welding and cutting.

OZOLINE Ar K

Part Number: 108622

A high-quality shielding gas for light general welding applications and for better control of molten metal. Ozoline Ar is designed to improve the quality and productivity of your welding in GTAW and GMAW processes.

OZOLINE C8 K

Part Number: 108623

Ozoline C2 is a mixture of Argon, CO2 and Nitric Oxide (NO) with good general properties that clearly outperform conventional gas mixtures for stainless steels and duplex alloys.

Metal Fabrication Equipment

For general contractors, mobility, ease of use, and durability are critical. SolidARC filler metals and SolidSTRIKE electrodes ensure quick arc starts and strong welds — even in variable jobsite conditions. SolidWELD machines offer rugged portability and CSA-certified safety, while ClearVIEW helmets provide all-day visibility and protection. Gantec Polysafe gear ensures contractors stay protected in unpredictable environments, and AirSTORM fume extractors offer on-site air quality control for enclosed workspaces like basements, tanks, or mobile containers.

ClearVIEW Premium Welding Helmets

Messer's range of welding helmets and safety equipment is designed to enhance protection and efficiency for welders across all levels of expertise.

MetalSTORM Abrasives & Cutting Disks

MetalSTORM abrasives are designed for cutting, grinding, and finishing applications, offering high-performance cutting discs, grinding wheels, and flap discs.

SolidARC Welding Wire & Rods

SolidARC welding consumables deliver consistent performance, smooth arc stability, and superior weld quality across MIG, TIG, and flux-cored applications.

SolidSTRIKE Stick Electrodes

SolidSTRIKE stick electrodes are designed for smooth arc starts, easy restrikes, and consistent weld quality in MMA welding applications.

AirSTORM Fume Extractors

AirSTORM Fume Extractors provide powerful, high-efficiency filtration to capture weld fumes, dust, and airborne contaminants directly at the source.
