THE FUTURE OF WELDING IS IN THE HANDS OF THOSE WILLING TO ENDURE THE HEAT LM WELD CONTROL IS HERE TO PUT YOU IN CONTROL
The LM Weld Control (LMWC) platform is launching a nationwide system that connects welders, supply stores, and repair shops like never before. Our system works with new and old machines, and our mission is simple:
When your shop joins the LMWC Network, you gain visibility, credibility, and access to features that help you grow your business while strengthening the entire welding community. The more that join the better the discounts that can be offered and the better the opportunity for small businesses to push back against inflated prices.
Every participating repair shop gets a free map listing in the LMWC app. Users can see:
Your shop information
Contact details
Website link
Services you offer
Photos/videos (Premium feature)
Customer reviews
Welders will be able to find legitimate, trustworthy repair shops instead of “paint-it-and-sell-it” outfits.
Shops that join the Premium membership get a Verified Repair Shop badge showing that you are a professional and reliable shop with an actual reputation behind your work.
This helps:
Build customer trust
Reduce buyer hesitation
Set your shop apart from backyard rebuilders
Bring in more service jobs
Upcoming features of the LMWC platform will allow your shop to:
Your customers will receive notifications directly in the LMWC app when it’s time for:
Oil changes
Filter replacements
Valve adjustments
Welding generator maintenance
Electrode/brush servicing
Cooling system checks
Annual tune-ups
Your shop will be recommended as the preferred service location for those reminders.
This creates repeat business, turning one-time customers into long-term clients.
When a user gets their machine serviced by your shop, you can mark the machine as:
This badge appears in the machine’s digital profile and:
Increases resale value
Proves the machine was professionally serviced
Helps honest welders avoid scams
Builds trust between buyer and seller
Shows a real maintenance history (like Carfax for welders)
For your shop, this means:
More maintenance jobs
More repeat customers
More credibility
More machines coming through your doors
Higher customer loyalty
This feature makes YOU the trusted service authority in your region.
Users will be able to rate and review your shop inside the app.
Good, consistent work = positive reviews, which = more customers.
Welders often travel or work out of their normal area. When they open the app and see:
Your shop is verified
You have strong ratings
You offer discounts
You are linked to service reminders
—they will choose you over anyone else.
This is built-in marketing that works for you 24/7.
This is one of the most powerful reasons to join.
Right now, most repair shops:
Pay retail prices
Struggle to source quality components
Have no leverage with distributors
Lose profit margin due to inflated parts costs
LMWC is building the first unified repair shop network.
With enough shop involvement, LMWC can secure:
True wholesale pricing
Bulk ordering options
Direct manufacturer partnerships
Exclusive distribution deals
LMWC-branded high-quality components
Together, repair shops can finally break out of monopoly-level pricing and take control of their margin.
