Ours is a distribution business, with gases, welding and safety supplies as
our major products. By focusing on distribution, we help customers by
delivering the right products to the right location at the right time. Our
2,500 drivers comprise the front-line of our national distribution force.
Each morning, Airgas route drivers deliver cylinders and hardgoods to
local customers throughout the U.S. while other drivers shuttle gases to
our 800 stocking locations. Still other drivers make bulk and MicroBulk
deliveries to customers’ sites.
Supporting our drivers are associates throughout an integrated distribution
network of branches and retail stores, cylinder fill plants,
production facilities, specialty gas laboratories, and five regional distribution
centers that ship hardgoods and safety products to Airgas branches
and end-customers. This common infrastructure supports the distribution
of products and services through multiple sales channels, including our
branches and retail stores, Strategic Accounts programs, distributors and
resellers, as well as eBusiness, catalog and telesales channels.
