About Us

New Bedford Welding Supply was founded in 1969 by Robert. W. Cook in a small garage on England Street in the north end of New Bedford. Things have changed a lot from the old garage starting with our move to New Bedford's busy waterfront where we built one of the largest showrooms in New England to showcase our large inventory of welding equipment, hand tools, power tools, safety equipment & clothing. The Cook family then opened their 2nd location in Taunton, MA & then their 3rd location in North Smithfield, RI. New Bedford Welding Supply has been owned & operated for three generations by the Cook family & to this day they help take care of the needs of their customers.
