Why choose Aketek™?
Nobody knows the liquid crystal technology in auto-darkening welding filters better than Åke Hörnell, the inventor and pioneer of the technology. Åke’s first welding helmets dominated the markets from the late 70s to early 2000, and now he is back with a new mission, making top-tier welding helmets affordable.
With over 50 years of experience, the Aketek™ brand is built on a foundation of expertise and a drive for innovation, to ensure that people’s health and safety are not compromised because of cost. Our products offer the highest optical class and highest efficiency whilst being cost-effective, making it the clear choice for all welders.
