INACAP has over 120,000 students and more than 270,000 alumni who are developing Chile today and well in to its future.
Uniweld Products, Inc. (Fort Lauderdale, FL) has set up ten oxy/acetylene training stations in the INACAP welding laboratory with RUHL series regulators, welding handles and brazing and welding tips. Brazing systems from Lucas-Milhaupt, Inc.

“It is with great honor and pride that we participate in this project in conjunction with our partners to educate and train Chile’s youth on the proper practices and technological advancements in the fields of brazing and welding,” proclaimed Richard Apodaca, the director of international sales and marketing at Uniweld Products, Inc.
