Gearing Up the Next Generation

Gearing Up the Next Generation

More Than Helmets — Real Support, Real Service, and the Right Equipment

Welding students deserve gear that works as hard as they do.

At Kristian Electric, we’ve been supporting Canadian welders since 1964 — and that includes the students learning the trade today. Through Miller’s exclusive Education Discount Program, we help schools, trade colleges, and post-secondary institutions across Canada access safe, reliable, industry-grade welding equipment.

Not Just Helmets — We Do Welding Machines Too

Yes, we supply helmets, gloves, PPE, and consumables — but we also provide complete welding machine solutions for classrooms and labs. We work directly with educators to help choose the right machines, handle logistics, and — unlike most suppliers — we’ll actually help set up the equipment in your classroom.

That’s right. We don’t just drop off a stack of boxes and disappear. We’ll work with your instructors to:

  • Unpack and install welding machines
  • Walk through configuration and setup
  • Ensure everything is ready before students step into the booth
  • Stick around when questions come up later on

Need support mid-semester? No problem. Just call us — that’s the Kristian Electric promise: support that continues long after the sale.

Take Advantage of Miller’s Education Program

This program gives institutions access to additional savings on:

We’ll walk you through eligible products and handle the paperwork for you — so your program gets the best pricing, minus the hassle.

Our Educational Support Includes:

  • Discounted pricing on PPE, machines, and accessories
  • Bulk order support for full programs and shops
  • Canada-wide shipping from our Calgary, Edmonton, or Saskatoon locations
  • Hands-on setup assistance (yes — we help get the machines running!)
  • Real, ongoing support from a team that knows welding

Built for Educators. Backed by Experience.

We support schools and programs of all sizes, including:

  • High school welding and trades programs
  • Technical training institutes and colleges
  • Apprenticeship and re-entry training centres
  • Workforce development organizations

If you’re running a one-room shop class or a full-scale welding lab, we’re here to help you make the most of your budget and get the gear you actually need.

Ready to Gear Up?

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our team will work with you to build a setup that fits your students, your curriculum, and your space — whether that’s a few helmets or an entire classroom of machines. We got you covered!

Reach out to us at: hello@kristian.ca

The Kristian Promise

Support the next generation. Deliver with care. Go the extra mile.
Because when it comes to welding education, it’s not just about what you teach — it’s about having the right gear, and the right support behind it.
