Two national leaders — Zaporizhzhia Abrasive Plant (ZAK) and PATON INTERNATIONAL, a leading Ukrainian manufacturer of welding equipment and materials — have announced the beginning of a strategic cooperation.

From now on, cutting and grinding wheels from the new ZAK SMART line, designed for both professional and home use, will be available in PATON’s online store as complementary products to their welding equipment. This partnership offers not only greater convenience for customers but also a strong example of Ukrainian industrial unity focused on a shared goal: the development of national production.

“When Ukrainian manufacturers unite, it’s not just a win for business — it’s a win for the entire country. We’re proud that our SMART line products will become part of the professional toolkit for those who choose PATON,” — stated the ZAK press office.

PATON INTERNATIONAL has over 60 years of experience and was the first in Ukraine to launch serial production of inverter welding machines. Its name is synonymous with reliability, technical innovation, and commitment to Ukrainian welding traditions.

The collaboration between ZAK and PATON is a powerful example of effective cooperation between Ukrainian enterprises — and a reminder that supporting local production is not just a trend, but a national necessity.
