What's time worth to you?

Let's put a dollar value on the time you could save with 3M™ Speedglas™ Integrated PAPR System

A lot of factors go into your production cost. If labor is your biggest piece, then perhaps we can help with that. 3M™ Speedglas™ Integrated PAPR System could help your team be more productive. Based on your company’s labor rate, we can put a dollar value to your potential for increased weld output. How much more could you produce with a more efficient welder?​
