For Fronius, internationality also means having a consistently high standard of products and customer care throughout the world. In this connection, you will be finding out more about the TechSupport concept. And of course you will also find case-studies and news on the latest developments – like gas-cooled robot torches, which play an important role on the international marketplace.
