Airgas Earns Fourth Consecutive Military Friendly® Gold Designation

Airgas, an Air Liquide company, has been awarded Gold Level Recognition on the 2026 Military Friendly® Employers list by VIQTORY for the fourth consecutive year, following three years of the Silver Level designation. This acknowledgement underscores Airgas’ sustained commitment to creating meaningful, comprehensive benefits and career opportunities for veterans and their spouses.

Airgas continues its 43-year history of actively supporting veterans and military families. The company proudly employs nearly 1,200 veterans across its divisions and business units, who successfully contribute to the company in a wide variety of roles.

Airgas' commitment includes actively recruiting associates with military experience and providing policies and tools that support service members and transitioning veterans in identifying career growth, mentorship, and training opportunities in their post-military careers. In addition to its hiring efforts, Airgas supports the military community through its long-standing partnership with Operation Homefront, a non-profit organization whose mission is to support military families so they can thrive in their communities. Airgas has donated over $1.7 million since 2008 to the organization in support.

Stamy Paul, Senior Vice President – Airgas Human Resources, commented: “Achieving the Military Friendly® Gold Designation for a fourth consecutive year is a profound honor that truly reflects Airgas’ culture. The nearly 1,200 veterans on our team are invaluable; their unparalleled leadership skills, mission-driven mindset, and deep commitment to service are the very qualities that drive our success. We are dedicated to providing these talented individuals with the resources and opportunities they need to build thriving careers at Airgas.”

Institutions earning the Military Friendly® Employers designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. Over 1,200 companies participated in the Military Friendly survey. Final ratings were determined by combining an organization’s survey score with an assessment of the organization’s ability to meet and exceed thresholds for Recruitment, New Hire Retention, Employee Turnover, and Promotion & Advancement of veterans and military employees. Airgas will be showcased in the 2026 Military Friendly® Employers Guide in the Winter issue of G.I. Jobs® magazine and on MilitaryFriendly.com.
