Fusion Inc.
Location
Founded in 1933 by Harold R. Williams, the company began its existence as Fusion Engineering Company. Its first products were paste solder alloys-carefully blended formulations of atomized filler metal, solder flux, and special paste binders. Although solder was not a new idea, its availability in paste form was - adding a new dimension to the metals joining industry. The product line was soon expanded to include paste alloys for brazing as well.
In the early 1950's, Fusion scored another industry "first", introducing the automatic paste applicator as a precise method of dispensing solder and brazing alloys onto components being joined. The appeal of Fusion products increased substantially with this step toward a complete assembly "system". This trend continued in 1959 as Fusion's Machine Division was born, making possible the design and manufacture of custom machines which automatically move fixtured parts through precise paste alloy application, heating and cooling operations.
