EBX Powers Performance Through Operational Discipline and Digital Innovation.

ESAB Business Excellence (EBX) is helping drive enterprise performance by combining operational discipline with digital innovation - demonstrating how data, process rigor, and technology can work together to support growth and enhance the customer experience.

EBX serves as ESAB's engine for continuous improvement, applying standardized methods to strengthen decision-making across the organization. From supply chain and finance to customer-facing digital tools, EBX initiatives are designed to simplify complexity, improve visibility, and embed smarter ways of working at scale.

Strengthening Operational Fundamentals

A cornerstone of EBX is its focus on operational fundamentals. Through disciplined inventory management practices, teams are improving accuracy and strengthening controls before purchasing decisions are made.

This approach helps reduce excess inventory, protect margins, and reinforce a culture where data guides action across the supply chain.

Accelerating Finance Through Process Innovation

EBX is also driving performance within core finance processes by redesigning and automating time-intensive workflows. By streamlining how monthly operational data is collected and processed, teams gain faster access to consistent information. This allows for earlier insights and more confident decision-making across a global footprint.

The result is a finance function better aligned with the business's pace and evolving needs.

Driving Consistency Across Working Capital

In parallel, EBX is applying the same level of discipline to working capital processes, strengthening collaboration between finance and sourcing teams.

By embedding standardized practices into day-to-day operations, EBX ensures improvements are repeatable and sustainable - supporting long-term financial resilience without disrupting business continuity.

Advancing Digital Innovation with EVA

Beyond internal operations, EBX is extending its impact through digital innovation, launching EVA, ESAB's AI-powered virtual assistant.

Built on trusted ESAB content, EVA provides instant access to product information, troubleshooting guidance, and support resources. The assistant is now live on ESAB.com for Europe and North America, making knowledge more accessible to customers, distributors, and internal teams alike.

Available around the clock, EVA is designed to reduce friction, accelerate problem resolution, and enhance the overall customer experience. By delivering the right information at the right time, the platform helps users work more efficiently while enabling teams to focus on higher-value activities.

Scaling Performance Across the Enterprise

Together, these initiatives reflect EBX's broader mission: applying practical innovation and disciplined execution to the areas that matter most.

Whether strengthening operational controls, accelerating insight, or enhancing digital engagement, EBX continues to help ESAB scale performance, consistency, and expertise across the enterprise.
