America is investing in its infrastructure. Non-residential construction is on the rise, and Airgas has the gases, welding equipment, safety products, power tools, and other supplies that construction customers need.

Building out from our core business, Airgas has expanded our infrastructure to meet this growing construction demand. A national sales team works with the largest engineering and construction firms, while regional specialists work with local contractors who are building high-rises, bridges, pipelines, and power plants. We are adding new contractor-friendly stores stocked and staffed with construction customers in mind. Hotshot delivery trucks help serve construction crews on deadline. And Red-D-Arc Welderentals®, an Airgas company, provides welding, positioning, and related equipment, including products engineered and built for Extreme-Duty™ performance and reliability.

Construction accounts for 10 percent of total revenues today. By building out our infrastructure with dedicated teams and new construction stores, Airgas will be ready for contractors of all sizes who will be participating in America’s building boom.

As contractors build America’s pipelines, power plants, highways, and skyscrapers, Airgas has people, product and stores focused squarely on the growing non-residential construction marketplace.
