WestAir vs. Airgas: How Do They Stack Up?

WestAir is an independent, family-owned distributor serving California and Arizona since 1970. Airgas is a subsidiary of the French multinational Air Liquide, operating roughly 1,400 locations nationwide. That difference shows in the day-to-day: WestAir pairs every account with a dedicated manager and backs deliveries with real-time cylinder tracking and tank-level telemetry, so customers rarely run out unexpectedly. The result is a supplier built around regional responsiveness, not scale for its own sake.

  • "Two words: Smart solution. This is so much better than other systems because we only get refills when we need them – it's on demand. I don't have to worry about it, it's out of sight out of mind. And we've had zero issues with it."
    Dave Ohmer, Owner & Founder Seek Beer Co.
