WestAir Gases and Equipment, the largest independent distributor of gases and gas equipment in the Southwest of the US, has partnered up with Cryo Shield, a whole body cryotherapy (WBC) company based in California.
It is understood that this new partnership will see WestAir supply Cryo Shield with all the gas and piping needs to serve its therapy centre and mobile chambers for WBC treatments.
