🧊 All Sport Body Quencher Freezer Pops are everything you love about the drink, packed into a frozen pop loaded with electrolytes, potassium, and B vitamins. Four flavors, one seriously refreshing way to keep your team going on a hot Montana day.

Summer is coming, and if your crew is working outside, hydration is not just comfort -- it is a safety requirement.
We carry them in store and supplies are limited. Stop by any of our six locations and grab yours before they're gone.

🎓 To the Class of 2026, congratulations!
This year we had the privilege of showing up alongside a lot of you. At the FFA JAM Show, at SkillsUSA Montana, at the welding programs at MSU Northern and more. We served as judges, we sponsored events, we fired up the grill, and we watched you work.

What we saw gave us a lot of confidence in what comes next for this state. The trades are alive and well in Montana, and agriculture is in good hands. The skills you have built, the standards you held yourselves to, and the pride you brought to your craft do not go unnoticed.

Go make something great. We will be watching, and we will be rooting for you. We couldn't be prouder of the next generation of Montana's Graduates!

💻 We have been busy behind the scenes, and it is time to show it!

Gendco's website just got a comprehensive overhaul, and it is built to make your life easier. Whether you are shopping for industrial gases, welding equipment, filler metals, safety gear, or anything in between, our new site puts thousands of products at your fingertips with an experience that actually makes sense.

This is not just a new look. It is a better way to do business with us, any time of day, from anywhere in Montana. And we are just getting started. A full resource blog is rolling out soon with the kind of practical, trade-specific content you can actually use.

Take a look and tell us what you think. Shop.gendco.com

🦺 Safety Tip: If there is moving equipment nearby, hi-vis is not optional.

Low light, dust, and distraction make worksites and fields more dangerous than they look. The right class of hi-vis garment keeps you visible to operators and drivers who may not be looking for you. Do not assume you can be seen.

We carry ANSI Class 1, 2, and 3 hi-vis across all six of our locations.

On this Memorial Day, we pause to honor the men and women who gave everything in service to this country.

Freedom is not free, and the weight of that truth belongs to the families and communities who carry it every day. We are grateful, and we mean it.

From all of us at General Distributing, thank you.

😄 We work hard around here. Erik "EZ" Zalenski is proof we know how to have a little fun too!
EZ took it upon himself to bring some Friday energy to the shop, and honestly, we are here for it. Hit play and try not to smile.

This is Gendco. The work is real, the people are genuine, and every once in a while somebody starts dancing.

Have a great long weekend, Montana. You've earned it.

The future of welding is here! Laser welding is expanding what's possible in fabrication, offering enhanced precision, speed, and efficiency where it fits best.

Today Evan and Ross worked side-by-side with a customer, training them on their new Everlast RedSabre 2000 laser welder, for optimal results right out of the gate.

Getting customers up and running with confidence is the standard we bring to every install, demo, and training we provide. We're committed to doing what it takes to support our customers every step of the way.
