Unipart has switched to using ESAB stainless steel welding wire supplied in Mini Marathon Pacs on 20 welding robots that fabricate automotive exhaust systems, including stainless steel systems for Land Rover.

Using ESAB’s Mini Marathon Pacs has meant that, at the most, only one metre of wire is lost
