Productivity

Keeping your fleet moving and ratcheting up productivity to meet demand are formidable challenges.

You need to keep your fleet on the road—while also being able to quickly expand it. You may think there’s no way a single supplier could help you overcome both of these challenges, but one trusted supplier has just what you’re looking for to reduce supply-chain complexity and help you improve productivity.

Don’t let your welding operation cost you

Close any skills gaps that are preventing your workforce from operating at its best. When welding proficiency impacts quality, cost and safety, you can’t afford not to take a closer look.

At Airgas, we tie hard metrics to improvements in your welding processes that quantify the impact of our decades of experience in the welding industry. We can help you increase arc-on times while matching the right products with the right application. Operating budgets drop as gas usage decreases and jobs are finished with a greater expediency and proficiency.
