A&S Welding and Electrical has operated for over two decades as a reputable, family-run repair and supply business in the welding and electrical industries. Founded by Ashur Barkho in 2002, Ashur’s extensive background in the welding, plumbing, and electrical sectors equipped him with deep insight into customers’ needs and the machinery they rely on. This knowledge, paired with hands-on experience, allowed him to understand how equipment operates and the best ways to repair it when issues arise.

Before establishing the business, Ashur handled occasional repairs, but as demand grew, it became clear that expansion was necessary. Thus, A&S Welding and Electrical was officially established, operated by Ashur and his wife, Shemiran. Over the past 20 years, A&S has serviced tens of thousands of machines, sold millions of products, and leased hundreds of pieces of equipment.

In 2022, we recognised that while consumers wanted fast and straightforward service, they still valued the trust, expertise, and personalised advice offered by a small, specialised business—something the “big players” couldn’t match. This led to a major transformation of our brick-and-mortar store in Smithfield, which included cleaning, reorganising, digitising, and marketing to prepare for the next chapter: A&S Online, our new online marketplace designed to complement our physical storefront.

A&S Online offers an unparalleled shopping and informational experience, allowing both new and existing customers to explore our extensive range of reliable products in a responsive, user-friendly online environment. This integration with our brick-and-mortar operations has enabled us to expand our reach, offering door-to-door delivery not only across Australia but worldwide. Our unique offerings include:

• Same-day/next-day delivery from local suppliers to customers.

• Expert advice from a specialised company with two decades of industry experience.

• Multiple payment options, including Buy Now Pay Later (AfterPay & ZipPay), VISA, MASTERCARD, AMEX, and PayPal.

• A commitment to satisfying every customer request, big or small.

• A pledge to support and promote the growth of small businesses.
