Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. (NasdaqGS:LECO) will look for acquisitions. Gabriel Bruno Chief Financial Officer answered to a question during the Morgan Stanley Virtual 8th Annual Laguna Conference, “We're probably tied to more bolt-ons right now. We wouldn't shy away from any acquisitions such as Air Liquide Welding. But we're actively navigating and looking for opportunities to grow our business and to where it makes sense to tie in businesses that allow us to penetrate more into the market. So it's a little bit of a challenging environment, as you can imagine, in travel and the dynamics of engaging with potential targets. But we're pretty actively looking at opportunities to continue to grow, particularly on the acquisition side”.
