Airgas, an Air Liquide company, has acquired Massachusetts-based industrial gas and welding equipment distributor Arco Welding Supply, strengthening its presence in the US northeast region.
Arco Welding Supply, a family-owned distributor, has operated in Malden and the greater Boston area for over 75 years. Following the acquisition, 14 Arco Welding Supply employees will join Airgas.
Kahlub Kenyon, Airgas Northeast Region President, said the integration of Arco Welding Supply will strengthen the company’s foothold in a key market and support its customers in the Northeast.
In April, Airgas acquired the packaged gas and welding distribution business of US automotive parts company Hust Brothers.
The deal expanded for medical gases, welding supplies, and additional safety equipment.
