Peerless was started in very humble beginnings back in 1962 by Norman Healey, firstly making electric manual arc welders in a backyard and distributing throughout Victoria and southern NSW. Mr Healey travelled and set up dealers all over Victoria and southern NSW, once the business became established he soon went to other states to set up dealers. Within three years Peerless had established a very loyal dealership Australia wide. Not only did he manufacture a product to be proud of, he gave a 10 year guarantee on his welders – a first in Australia. The company also manufactured welders for many leading distribution companies under their own brand name.
