Multigas Ltd is proud to support Malta's future professionals currently studying at the MCAST Institute of Engineering and Transport. On 12 July Multigas Ltd donated equipment to be used in the Mechanical Engineering and Building and Construction Engineering departments.

The equipment donated consisted of TIG Welding apparatus Helvi Compact 360AC/DC, used to weld thin sections of stainless steel and non-ferrous metals, and a Plasma Cutting Machine Helvi x753n, used to cut different types of metals of different thicknesses with extreme precision and negligible distortion. Multigas complemented this donation by including a quantity of HILCO top-quality welding consumables.
