About Canton Alloys
Canton Alloys Ltd is a trusted manufacturer of high quality mild steel welding electrodes designed to deliver strong, consistent and reliable welds for a wide range of industrial and fabrication work.
Our brand SIMBAWELD electrodes are produced using premium raw materials and advanced manufacturing processes to ensure excellent arc stability, easy striking, and superior weld quality — from thin sheet metal repairs to heavy structural fabrication.
“Quality at every step. Strength in every weld.”
Every batch that leaves our facility in Athi River, Machakos County, is manufactured, tested and certified to meet AWS, EN and KEBS standards — so contractors and fabricators can weld with confidence, every time.

How It’s Made
Our Manufacturing Process
Six controlled stages stand between raw material and a carton of SIMBAWELD electrodes — each one inspected before the next begins.
