NexAir acquires Welders Supply & Equipment

Memphis-based nexAir, a distributor of atmospheric gases and welding supplies, has agreed to acquire Welders Supply & Equipment Co. Inc.


Welders Supply is a distributor of welding and medical equipment, gases and safety supplies with locations in Montgomery and Andalusia, Ala. The transaction is expected to close at the end of the month and Welders Supply and its employees will join nexAir’s Alabama operations effective March 2.

“The team at Welders Supply has a long history of great customer service in central and south Alabama, and we look forward to carrying on that tradition in the years to come,” said Kevin McEniry, CEO of nexAir. “We’re anxious to welcome our new team members and enhance product offerings for customers of both companies in this area.”

The acquisition expands nexAir’s Alabama footprint to further its reach into central and south Alabama. In addition to its knowledge of industrial and specialty gases and welding supplies, nexAir brings expertise in automation trends and the latest welding procedures.

“We look forward to becoming part of the nexAir team and helping to ensure our customers continue to receive the products, equipment and supplies they need,” said Cad Beale, president of Welders Supply. “We are excited for our customers and employees to benefit from the experience and offerings nexAir will bring to our area.”
