What Makes TIG & MIG Welding the Best Choice for Fabrication?: Welding is the backbone of the fabrication industry, especially in industrial hubs like Saudi Arabia, where oil & gas, construction, and infrastructure projects demand high-quality, durable metal structures. At Safe and Secure Trading Company (SSTC), our commitment to quality, safety, and innovation drives us to choose the most effective welding techniques—TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) and MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding—for our fabrication services.
In this blog post, we’ll dive into why TIG and MIG welding are the preferred choices at SSTC, how they enhance our fabrication process, and what makes us a responsible and reliable partner in Saudi Arabia’s growing industrial ecosystem.
TIG welding, also known as GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding), uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and an inert gas (usually argon) to protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination. It is ideal for thin materials and applications requiring precision and clean welds.

MIG welding, or GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding), uses a continuously fed wire electrode and shielding gas. It is more suited for thicker materials and high-volume fabrication due to its speed and efficiency.
At SSTC, quality is non-negotiable. TIG welding offers exceptional control over the weld pool, resulting in cleaner and stronger welds—especially useful for stainless steel, aluminum, and exotic metals used in critical infrastructure and manufacturing.
MIG welding, on the other hand, provides deep penetration and consistent results, perfect for heavy-duty applications like frames, platforms, and support structures.
Saudi Arabia’s modern construction and manufacturing sectors demand not only strength but also visual appeal and accuracy. TIG welding excels in delivering fine, clean, and spatter-free welds, making it ideal for visible joints and high-end finishes.
MIG welding’s fast processing time makes it highly productive for large-scale fabrication jobs. SSTC utilizes automated and semi-automated MIG systems that allow us to maintain high throughput without compromising quality—a critical requirement for projects with tight deadlines.
SSTC handles a wide range of materials, from carbon steel and stainless steel to aluminum alloys. Both TIG and MIG welding are adaptable to various material types and thicknesses, giving us flexibility in our fabrication capabilities.
Our welding facilities adhere strictly to Saudi Arabian labor safety laws and international welding standards. Both TIG and MIG welding systems are equipped with safety-enhancing features like gas flow regulators, ventilation systems, and automated arc control, which help protect our workforce and the environment.
From high-rise buildings to industrial warehouses, SSTC uses MIG welding to fabricate beams, columns, frames, and trusses that meet structural integrity codes such as SBC (Saudi Building Code).
We provide customized fabrication of conveyors, process tanks, machinery frames, and housings using TIG welding to ensure precision and corrosion resistance for food processing, chemical, and manufacturing plants.
SSTC welds piping and ducting systems for HVAC installations using TIG for tight seals and leak-proof results, ensuring optimal energy efficiency and indoor air quality.
All our welders are certified by AWS (American Welding Society) and trained in-house on the latest techniques and safety protocols. Every weld is inspected through non-destructive testing (NDT) like X-ray, ultrasonic, and dye-penetrant methods to ensure defect-free joints.
SSTC adopts eco-friendly practices by:
Our welding bays are fitted with:
We also conduct routine safety audits and training sessions to minimize risk and create a safe work environment.
We are continually innovating by integrating CNC welding, robotics, and AI-based quality monitoring systems. SSTC is exploring hybrid welding processes that combine MIG/TIG with laser or plasma techniques to enhance precision and reduce welding time further.
As Saudi Arabia moves towards its Vision 2030 goals of industrial diversification and infrastructure expansion, SSTC is poised to lead with sustainable, scalable, and smart welding solutions.
At Safe and Secure Trading Company (SSTC), we don’t just weld metal—we forge strength, reliability, and trust. Our use of TIG and MIG welding is not just a technical decision, but a strategic move to deliver the highest quality fabrication services across Saudi Arabia’s industrial landscape.
Whether you’re planning a mega industrial facility or a bespoke equipment project, SSTC is your partner for precision welding and responsible fabrication.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
