Exhibits
Roburn's current gas-product types include gas soldering irons, culinary micro torches, DIY torches, blow torches, micro burners, pocket torches and mountain micro burners. These products are organized for both lifestyle and tool applications, with stated environments including hobby use, kitchen work, outdoor activity, HVAC, home improvement and automotive repair. For technical work, Roburn lists soldering and brazing, plastic welding and plumbing as application areas, connecting its heat tools with several repair and fabrication tasks. Gas soldering irons remain a major product family, building on the company's post-PT130 expansion into advanced soldering tools and its stated position as one of the largest gas-soldering-iron manufacturers worldwide. The torch range covers culinary micro torches, DIY torches, blow torches and pocket torches, allowing the same company to supply compact consumer formats and more robust torch products. Micro burners and mountain micro burners extend the burner category toward portable and outdoor-oriented products, while the broader catalog also includes gas burners and a portable stove. Roburn's product history provides two named 1990 references, the MT-770 gas torch that the company says it began developing and manufacturing and the PT130 pencil torch that it identifies as a landmark launch. Across the range, the company's published direction keeps safety and quality as operating priorities while continuing to develop gas-tool formats for partners, brands, chain stores and end-use markets.
Company profile
Roburn Company Ltd. was established in 1985 and began as a manufacturer focused on innovative lighters, including flint lighters, music lighters and wind-proof lighters, before expanding its expertise into gas torches and gas soldering irons. The company identifies gas torches and gas soldering irons as precision-tool specialties and states that safety, product quality and design capability are central strengths in its gas-tool business. In 1990, Roburn states that it began developing and manufacturing the MT-770 gas torch, marking an early step in the company's transition from lighter products into dedicated gas-tool development. Roburn also identifies 1990 as the year it launched the PT130, described by the company as the world's first pencil torch and as a product that became a cornerstone of the brand's global torch business. Following the PT130, the company expanded into advanced gas soldering irons and robust blow torches and now describes itself as one of the largest manufacturers of gas soldering irons worldwide. Its emphasis on safety and quality has supported partnerships with world-renowned brands and leading chain stores, linking manufacturing capability with international brand and retail relationships. Roburn continues to frame research and product development around the evolving needs of partners and customers, with ongoing innovation presented as the path for continued growth in the gas-tool industry. The company's core product line comprises Gas Torches, Gas Soldering Irons, Gas Burners and Gas Blow Torches, while its current catalog further divides these into several specialized torch and burner formats. Roburn's application coverage includes hobby and kitchen uses, outdoor activity, HVAC, home improvement and automotive repair, showing a product strategy that crosses household, workshop and professional environments. Additional application areas include soldering and brazing, plastic welding and plumbing, giving the company's gas tools roles in joining, heating and repair-oriented work as well as culinary and outdoor use. A portable stove is also listed among the company's products, adding a stove format to the torch, burner and soldering-iron families represented in Roburn's gas-tool offering.
