Central Welding Supply history
Central Welding Supply company history timeline
Our roots go back to 1947 when McGowan Welding Supply of Little Falls opened for business.
In June of 2009 Central Welding Supply acquired Compressed Gas Western Inc of Seattle WA, which had a proud 35+ history of service in this region.
That same summer also saw the opening of the Redmond branch of Central Welding Supply (July 2009), positioned to provide more responsive delivery service to the growing Redmond/Kirkland region.
In December 2009 Central Welding Supply purchased Pacific Welding Supplies LLC from the Fox family, bringing with it an additional 5 locations, 70 employees, and another nearly $20M in annual revenues.
The momentum continued deep into 2010, when Central opened a new location in Anacortes, WA in west Skagit County.
The summer of 2010 saw the launch of Central Welding Supply’s Safety Division.
By the end of Central’s 2010 fiscal year the company had grown to over $45M in annual revenues, in what was without a doubt the worst part of the Great Recession in the Pacific Northwest.
On September 6, 2016, Central Welding Supply announced the acquisition of United Welding Supplies Inc, located in Portland, OR. The new business represented Central Welding Supply's first location in Oregon State.
Central Welding Supply completed build out of its Wasilla retail store, warehouse, offices and cylinder storage yard in January 2017.
The new location opened February 27, 2017, supporting retail sales for walk-in customers, and also serving as a central point for distribution throughout the Mat-Su Valley.
