ESAB’s Record $766 Million Quarter — Equipment Growth Is Accelerating!

ESAB Corporation reported a solid second quarter for 2026, highlighted by record total core sales of $766 million, marking a 13% year-over-year increase, and adjusted EBITDA of $150 million, up 8% from the prior year. The company experienced a return to organic growth across both its Americas and EMEA/APAC segments, with core organic sales growth of 2.5%. Growth was primarily driven by double-digit increases in automation and equipment sales, supported by robust demand from North America and Asia. Europe showed resilience, and despite geopolitical challenges in the Middle East, the region performed in line with expectations. A key development was the ahead-of-schedule acquisition of Eddyfi Technologies, which expands ESAB’s technological portfolio into advanced inspection and monitoring solutions with higher gross margins (~65%) and EBITDA margins (~30%).
