Industrial gas manufacturer and distributor with 100+ retail locations across the US
American Welding & Gas manufactures and distributes industrial, medical, specialty, and food-beverage gases through a network of 100+ retail locations and 22 fill plants. The tech stack skews heavily toward workforce management (ADP, UKG, Workday, Paylocity) and fleet operations (Samsara, Fleetio, Omnitracs), reflecting a labor-intensive, geographically dispersed operation.
