Gullco International, a leading manufacturer of welding automation equipment, announces the continued success of mechanized welding solutions in transforming fabrication operations across multiple industries. With over seventy years of specialized expertise in welding technology, the company has established itself as a trusted provider of automated welding carriages, tractors, and custom systems that enable fabricators to achieve superior weld quality while significantly reducing production timeframes compared to traditional manual welding processes.
In many fabrication environments, manual welding inconsistencies can severely limit throughput and profitability. The prevalence of defects like undercut, poor fusion, and porosity often necessitate costly rework, consuming labor hours that could be billed elsewhere. Gullco International understands that every minute spent grinding or repairing welds not only causes delays but also wastes expensive consumables, directly impacting a company’s bottom line. Mechanized welding solutions, with their precise control over torch angle and travel speed, address these issues head-on by significantly reducing the need for repairs, helping fabricators keep projects on schedule and under budget.
Project deadlines are frequently compromised due to the limitations of manual welding, making arc-on time a critical bottleneck. When welders must frequently pause to reposition the torch or recover from fatigue, productivity stalls. Gullco’s mechanized carriages and tractors maintain a consistent welding speed along seams, particularly beneficial on long or complex welds. This steady performance increases arc-on time, enabling fabricators to meet tight deadlines and secure contracts that require reliable and timely completions. By improving operational efficiency, mechanized welding eliminates the domino effect that delays can cause throughout the production chain.
Operator safety remains a paramount concern in welding shops worldwide. The demanding conditions of manual welding—exposure to intense heat, hazardous fumes, and prolonged awkward postures—contribute to both long-term health risks and day-to-day operator fatigue. Gullco International’s mechanized welding solutions protect operators by distancing them from direct arc exposure and reducing ergonomic strain, ensuring both safety and sustained weld quality. This dual benefit fosters a healthier workforce and diminishes accident risks, directly translating to improved morale and lower downtime.
One cornerstone of Gullco’s offering is the KAT® Automation Carriage, a rugged and versatile device capable of handling all-position welding. Whether working vertically, horizontally, or overhead, this carriage maintains flawless torch positioning and speed, thereby removing operator strain and delivering repeatable welds on the most challenging joints. Whether fabricating structural steel components or erecting a tank or ship hull, the KAT® serves as a reliable partner to skilled welders, allowing them to focus on crucial adjustments rather than manual control.
Adopting mechanized welding solutions is not merely an upgrade in equipment; it’s an investment in operational excellence that pays dividends through reduced rework, higher throughput, and improved weld quality and safety. Gullco International provides a seamless process for fabricators to integrate mechanization into their workflows, starting with a consultation to understand specific requirements. The company’s application experts then recommend the precise equipment package that delivers the fastest return on investment and the greatest competitive advantage.
Jeff Zook, Director at Gullco International, emphasizes the company’s dedication to helping fabricators thrive in a challenging market. “Our mission has always been to empower welding professionals by providing mechanized tools that complement their craftsmanship. We know that precision, efficiency, and safety are non-negotiable and strive to deliver equipment that supports these values, enabling shops to produce perfect welds reliably and on schedule,” Zook stated.
As industries evolve and fabrication demands grow increasingly complex, mechanized welding solutions by Gullco International represent a proven path forward. These systems bridge the gap between manual welding’s flexibility and full automation’s rigidity, offering fabricators a balance of control and consistency. The result is a more efficient, profitable, and safer workplace that can confidently meet today’s production challenges and win tomorrow’s jobs.
Fabricators continuing with manual welding alone risk falling behind competitors, suffering from chronic rework, delays, and lost contracts. Embracing Gullco’s mechanized welding technology is a strategic choice that protects profitability, reputation, and workforce wellbeing. By leveraging equipment trusted on the world’s most demanding jobsites, fabricators gain an undeniable advantage in quality, speed, and safety that helps secure long-term success in a competitive landscape.
Gullco International remains committed to partnering with fabricators worldwide, delivering expert support and industry-renowned mechanized welding solutions that unlock new levels of productivity and quality. Through dedication to innovation and customer success, Gullco’s solutions continue to set the standard for mechanized welding excellence that fabricators can depend on every day.

Also see discussion under Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Adjusted Net Investment Income below. (B) See Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Adjusted Net Investment Income, below, for a description of this non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation from Net investment income to Adjusted net investment income, including on a weighted-average per share basis. The Company uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and believes it is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company. (C) Estimates of tax characterization made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax characterization of distributions for the full year.

Highlights for the Quarter: During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the following significant events occurred:
Portfolio Activity:
In May 2025, we invested $49.5 million in a new portfolio company, Smart Chemical Solutions, LLC (“Smart Chemical”), in the form of $35.7 million of secured first lien debt and $13.8 million of preferred equity. Smart Chemical, headquartered in Midland, Texas, is a leading provider of production chemicals for onshore oil and gas operators throughout the United States.
In May 2025, we invested $12.8 million in a new portfolio company, Sun State Nursery and Landscaping, LLC (“Sun State”), in the form of $9.8 million of secured first lien debt and $3.1 million of preferred equity. Sun State, headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, is a leading commercial landscaping installation and maintenance provider in the Jacksonville area.
In June 2025, we restructured our investment in PSI Molded Plastics, Inc. As a result of the restructuring, we converted debt with a cost basis of $10.6 million into preferred equity.
Distributions and Dividends:
Paid an $0.08 per common share distribution to common stockholders in each of April, May and June 2025; and
Paid a $0.54 per common share supplemental distribution to common stockholders in June 2025.
At-the-market (“ATM”) Program Activity:
Sold 515,295 shares of our common stock under our common stock ATM program at a weighted-average gross price of $14.23 per share and raised approximately $7.2 million in net proceeds. These sales were above our then-current estimated NAV per share.
First Quarter Results: Net investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $9.1 million, or $0.25 per weighted-average common share, compared to net investment income of $7.2 million, or $0.20 per weighted-average common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. This increase was a result of a decrease in total expenses, net of credits, primarily due to a decrease in accruals for capital gains-based incentive fees and income-based incentive fees, a decrease in interest expense and an increase in credits from Adviser, partially offset by a decrease in total investment income in the current quarter.
Total investment income for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025 was $23.5 million and $27.5 million, respectively. The decrease quarter over quarter was due to a $3.5 million decrease in success fee income and $0.7 million decrease in dividend income that did not reoccur in the current quarter as the timing of such fee income is variable. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in interest income primarily due to the collection of $1.5 million of past due interest from a portfolio company previously on non-accrual status in the current quarter.
Total expenses, net of credits, for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025 was $14.5 million and $20.3 million, respectively. The decrease quarter over quarter was primarily due to a $2.3 million decrease in accruals for capital gains-based incentive fees in the current quarter, as a result of the net impact of realized and unrealized gains and losses, a $2.3 million decrease in income-based incentive fees and a $0.5 million decrease in interest expense due to decreased borrowings on the credit facility. The decrease was also due to a $0.4 million increase in credits from Adviser.
Net asset value per common share as of June 30, 2025 was $12.99, compared to $13.55 as of March 31, 2025. The decrease quarter over quarter was primarily due to $28.8 million, or $0.78 per common share, of distributions paid to common shareholders and $1.3 million, or $0.04 per common share, of net unrealized depreciation on investments and other. These decreases were partially offset by $9.1 million, or $0.25 per common share, of net investment income and $0.01 per common share of net accretive effect of equity offering.
Subsequent Events: After June 30, 2025, the following significant events occurred:
Significant Investment Activity:
In July 2025, we invested $67.6 million in a new portfolio company, Global GRAB Technologies, Inc. (“Global GRAB”), in the form of $46.5 million of secured first lien debt and $21.1 million of preferred equity. Global GRAB, headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, is a leading provider of turnkey perimeter security and hostile vehicle mitigation systems, serving various government and commercial organizations.

Subsequent to June 30, 2025, we sold 866,554 shares of our common stock under our common stock ATM program at a weighted-average gross price of $14.14 per share and raised approximately $12.1 million in net proceeds. These sales were above our then-current estimated NAV per share.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Adjusted Net Investment Income: On a supplemental basis, the Company discloses Adjusted net investment income, including on a weighted-average per share basis, which is a financial measure that is calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income, excluding capital gains-based incentive fees. The Company uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company. The Company’s investment advisory agreement provides that a capital gains-based incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to realized capital gains (but not unrealized appreciation) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized capital losses and unrealized depreciation on investments for such year. However, under GAAP, a capital gains-based incentive fee is accrued if realized capital gains and unrealized appreciation of investments exceed realized capital losses and unrealized depreciation of investments. Refer to Note 4 – Related Party Transactions in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion. The Company believes that Adjusted net investment income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any capital gains-based incentive fees, as net investment income does not include realized or unrealized investment activity associated with the capital gains-based incentive fee.

Adjusted net investment income may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, as it is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and therefore may be defined differently by other companies. In addition, Adjusted net investment income should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

Yonkers, NY – Markhoff & Mittman P.C., a premier construction accident law firm, is calling for enhanced workplace safety measures following a series of ladder-related accidents that continue to threaten construction workers throughout the region. The firm’s attorneys are emphasizing the urgent need for improved safety protocols and comprehensive training programs to address the alarming rate of ladder-related injuries in the construction industry.
Ladders are ubiquitous on construction sites, providing essential access for a wide range of tasks. However, this ubiquity comes at a significant cost. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), falls from ladders account for a disturbingly high number of workplace injuries and fatalities in the construction industry. These accidents can result in devastating consequences, including severe fractures, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and in the worst cases, fatal falls.
A recent incident that occurred in April 2024 illustrates the very real dangers facing construction workers. A construction worker in Manhattan suffered a serious accident while performing what should have been a routine task. The worker was on a 4-foot ladder installing tiles when the platform supporting the ladder suddenly gave way. The worker fell backward, sustaining serious injuries to his back and neck. This case underscores a crucial point that even seemingly safe situations involving short ladders can lead to life-altering accidents when proper precautions are not taken.
Brian Mittman, a seasoned attorney at Markhoff & Mittman Yonkers, offered his perspective on this incident. “Construction workers put their lives on the line every day to build and maintain the infrastructure communities rely on. This recent incident highlights a glaring issue in workplace safety standards. The worker was performing a routine task when the platform gave way, leading to severe injuries. It serves as a stark reminder that employers and site managers must ensure that all equipment, including ladders and platforms, are regularly inspected and maintained to prevent such accidents.”
The firm emphasizes that reducing the occurrence of ladder accidents requires commitment from both employers and workers. Key strategies include comprehensive safety training where employers must provide thorough, ongoing training on proper ladder usage and general safety protocols. Regular equipment inspections are essential, as all ladders, platforms, and related equipment should undergo frequent safety checks, with any damaged or worn items immediately repaired or replaced.
Proper setup and usage protocols require workers to be vigilant about following best practices for ladder placement, weight limits, and climbing techniques. Personal protective equipment must be provided to ensure all workers have access to and properly use appropriate safety gear, including non-slip footwear and fall protection equipment when necessary. Clear communication channels should be established for workers to report safety concerns without fear of retaliation.
Construction workers need to understand their legal rights in the event of an accident. When an injury occurs due to negligence or unsafe working conditions, workers have the right to seek compensation that may cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and disability costs.
Navigating the aftermath of a construction accident can be overwhelming. Markhoff & Mittman specializes in providing comprehensive legal support to injured workers. The firm is dedicated to investigating the circumstances of accidents, identifying all potentially liable parties, building strong cases for maximum compensation, handling complex negotiations with insurance companies, and taking cases to trial when necessary.
Brian Mittman emphasizes the firm’s commitment, stating, “At Markhoff & Mittman, the attorneys serve not just as legal counsel but as advocates for the hardworking individuals who build communities. The firm’s goal is to provide the best possible legal representation and support to those affected by construction accidents. The firm believes in holding negligent parties accountable and fighting for the rights of injured workers.”
Ladder-related accidents in construction represent a serious concern that demands immediate attention and ongoing effort. By prioritizing safety measures, providing proper training, and understanding legal rights, the construction industry can work towards a significantly safer environment for all workers.

This program is available in Toronto, Mississauga, the Greater Toronto Area, and all across Ontario. It is tailored to equip workers with the skills needed to operate forklifts safely while meeting Canadian safety standards. Courses from Safety First Training Toronto are vital for companies looking to improve their safety measures and follow necessary regulatory requirements, which are key for both efficiency and worker well-being.
The program provided by Safety First Training combines both classroom learning and hands-on practice.

New survey of 600 enterprise leaders reveals growing investment in IT asset management, yet alarming visibility and alignment gaps persist across organizations.
BOULDER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / August 12, 2025 / WanAware, an innovator in intelligent observability, today released a new report titled Closing the ITAM Confidence Gap: 2025 Survey Insights for IT Leaders, uncovering a stark divide in how IT teams and the broader business perceive the value and performance of ITAM systems. While IT managers express growing confidence in their tools, data, and ROI, most other departments remain unconvinced and often left in the dark.
According to the survey of 600 professionals across IT, operations, and general management at multi-location enterprises, 95% of IT leaders say they trust their asset data, and 80% report growing investment in ITAM initiatives. But outside of IT, that confidence quickly erodes. Less than half of analysts feel good about ROI, and only 35% of other managers trust the accuracy of asset data.
“This isn’t just a perception problem, it’s an operational one,” said Jeff Collins, CEO of WanAware. “When confidence in IT asset data drops by half outside the IT department, it creates real risk, wasted spend, and delays that fly under the radar until it’s too late.”
The report highlights how manual effort, fragmented tooling, and poor visibility continue to plague ITAM workflows. Nearly a quarter of IT teams still rely on spreadsheets and email threads to track assets. And even as IT leaders consolidate systems and adapt, the rest of the organization sees little progress. Non-IT respondents report fragmented tools, slow onboarding, and inconsistent data, undermining trust and making collaboration harder across finance, procurement, and compliance.
The gap is more than frustrating, it’s expensive. The survey estimates up to 25% of IT spend is wasted on “ghost assets” including devices and licenses that are no longer in use but remain on the books. These blind spots often fly under the radar, exposing companies to unnecessary tax, security, and compliance risk.
When asked what would improve ITAM most, IT leaders weren’t asking for bells and whistles. They pointed to real-time updates, automated responses to risky assets, and simplified tools that remove the burden of manual tracking. The goal is clear: fewer roadblocks, not more features.
The disconnect also appears to be widening. Half of IT managers say missing assets cause significant disruption, compared to just 9% of their peers in other departments. And while IT teams report improved visibility since shifting to remote work, analysts and ops managers see no such benefit. These perception gaps fuel disengagement, workarounds, and wasted time, ultimately weakening the business case for ITAM investment.
Still, WanAware believes alignment is possible. The report calls on IT leaders to take a more strategic role by proving the value of ITAM in business terms, integrating it with cybersecurity and service management tools, and making data and dashboards accessible to non-technical teams.
“Asset management shouldn’t be a gatekeeping function,” said Collins. “It should be a command center. When asset data is real-time, trusted, and actionable, it becomes the foundation for smart operations, secure systems, and scalable growth.”
WanAware’s own platform is built to solve exactly these issues, eliminating ghost assets with automated discovery, providing a shared real-time view across departments, and triggering policy-based remediation the moment an asset goes missing or risky. That combination of observability and automation is already helping enterprises close the confidence gap and regain control over sprawling, hybrid IT environments.
