Serving a large geographic area that encompasses Upstate New York, Vermont, and northern Pennsylvania is a well-established, fourth generation, family-owned independent gases and welding distributor, Haun Welding Supply.
The company is an extraordinary example of success in a region that has undergone major economic upheaval during those four generations. Once a center for manufacturing and home to companies like Carrier, today this region struggles economically and was especially hard hit by the recession of 2008. Haun Welding Supply has met the economic challenges head on by finding new markets and investing in growing the company.
As we reported in 2011 (see “Haun Specialty Gases’ High Efficiency — and Very Large — Gas Fill Plant, www.gasworld.com/2005123.article), an increasing demand for gases, including high purity and medical gases, led to the company’s formation of Haun Specialty Gases in 2005. This was followed by the construction of a high-efficiency gas fill plant in 2011 to supply high pressure industrial and medical gases, as well as high purity specialty gases. With the ability to manufacture its own specialty gases, the new company meets the gas demands of both Haun Welding Supply and its direct customers. Overall, the fill plant has enabled the company to become 30% more efficient in its filling operations.
