What an outstanding experience at the 2026 IWDC Sales & Purchasing Convention in Louisville, KY!

EQUIGAS was proud to sponsor this year’s event and connect with so many IWDC members, customers, suppliers, and industry partners. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth during the Vendor Booth Program. We truly appreciate your time, conversations, support, and continued trust in EQUIGAS.

Congratulations to Frank Kasnick, Chris Stout, Jessica Keck, Jennifer Carney, and the entire Independent Welding Distributors Cooperative team for delivering such a successful convention.

We are proud to support the continued growth and success of IWDC, which now represents 138 member companies, 882 locations, and $4.2 billion in annual sales.

The educational sessions and keynote presentations provided valuable takeaways on sales culture, purchasing strategies, inventory management, and customer success. Another meaningful highlight was IWDC’s support of Forged By Valor an inspiring nonprofit helping military veterans transition into welding careers through mentorship, training, and camaraderie.

As always, one of the greatest parts of IWDC events is the opportunity to reconnect with industry friends, customers, suppliers, and partners.

We look forward to seeing everyone next year in Indianapolis, June 7–10, 2027!

Thank you for your dedication, wisdom, friendship, and for always being someone the team can count on. We hope your day is filled with laughter, great company, and enough cake to make the fire marshal nervous.

Wishing you continued health, happiness, and many more successful laps around the sun.

Happy Birthday from your EQUIGAS Family!

The in Oklahoma City has come to an end. It was great to reconnect with friends, customers, suppliers, industry leaders, and fellow GAWDA members while participating in an event filled with exceptional content, keynote speakers, educational sessions, and memorable networking opportunities.

This year’s conference welcomed:
• 204 Distributor Companies
• 450 Supplier Representatives
• 700 attendees, including families and guests

EQUIGAS, Inc. was proud to sponsor both the Mobile App and the Newcomers Event. Our CEO, Rafael Arvelo, proudly served as a GAWDA Guide throughout the conference, because helping others connect and succeed is simply what we do.

- Manley Feinberg II, CSP: Leadership Through the Lens of a Professional Alpinist
His presentation provided powerful lessons applicable both in business and in life:
• Courage is Contagious
• Declare Your Current Climb
• Get on Belay
• Master the Art of the Restart
• Put Others on the Summit First

At EQUIGAS, these principles resonate deeply. Every day, we help our customers reach their own summit by keeping their Operations Running.

- Anese Cavanaugh: She challenged attendees to evaluate their leadership Presence and recognize how their Energy, Attitude, and Interactions directly influence Relationships, Productivity, Culture, and Performance. A powerful reminder that leadership begins with how we show up every day.

This year’s conference theme, “The Human Advantage in the Digital Age,” chosen by our GAWDA President Allison Earlbeck, could not have been more relevant. We embrace AI and digital tools to improve productivity and streamline processes. But what truly differentiates us is our people:
- We show up, We step up, and We bring 100% Energy.
- Most importantly, WE ANSWER THE PHONE!
Because this industry is built on Relationships, Trust, Expertise, Responsiveness, and an Unwavering Commitment to SAFETY. When customers need support, they don’t want to talk to a robot, they want to speak with people who genuinely care about THEM, their business, their operations, and their success.

We look forward to seeing everyone again soon and continuing to move our industry forward... Together.

Last week, we proudly celebrated EQUIGAS’ 9th Anniversary and another incredible Milestone, surrounded by Happiness, Gratitude, Teamwork, and of course… lots of Great Food. As tradition calls, we prepared our famous EQUIGAS Surf-N-Turf Low Country Boil, a dish that has become part of our company culture and family spirit. And of course, our famous EquiDogs!!!

We also had the honor of sharing this special moment with some of our valued industry partners, including some freight companies such as Old Dominion Freight Line and UPS, that work tirelessly every day to help us deliver products safely and rapidly to our customers across the nation. Their commitment is part of our success story.

During the celebration, we reflected on where it all began 9 years ago: No inventory, no shelves, no office furniture, and not a single customer. What we did have was Vision, Passion, Faith, Determination, and an Unstoppable Commitment to serving our Customers and taking care of our People.

We also spoke about our future, our goals for next year, the next 5 years, and the next 10 years. Today, we are proud to be leading the Cryogenic Equipment Distribution industry in the United States, and we could not feel more Blessed, Humbled, and Proud of everything our Team has accomplished together.

Most importantly, this celebration reminded us that our greatest strength is our people. None of this would be possible without the dedication, passion, hard work, and commitment of our incredible EQUIGAS family.

And yes… we are already planning next year’s celebration. It’s going to be HUGE.

Always Remember… THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!!!

Behind every strong system is someone who keeps things steady under pressure.
This Mother’s Day, EQUIGAS, Inc. celebrates the moms who do exactly that, at home, at work, and everywhere in between. Whether they’re leading teams, managing operations, supporting customers, or keeping families moving, mothers bring the kind of strength, patience, and care that every industry depends on.
In the world of compressed gases, cryogenics, and safety equipment, we know reliability matters.
So does trust. And few people teach us those values better than moms.
To the mothers across our team, our customers’ teams, and our industry: thank you for the care, resilience, and leadership you bring every day.
Happy Mother’s Day from EQUIGAS, Inc.!

The 2026 Annual Meeting of the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) ended successfully in the beautiful city of Savannah, GA. It was a powerful reminder of what makes our industry exceptional; collaboration, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to SAFETY.

My sincere congratulations to CGA for delivering another outstanding event, with over 400 attendees actively engaged. Special recognition to Rich Gottwald, Laura Brumsey, CAE, SES-CSP, and the entire CGA team for their exceptional organization and leadership.

CGA’s mission, to promote safe, secure, and environmentally responsible practices across the manufacture, transportation, storage, transfilling, and disposal of gases and their containers, continues to be driven forward by an extraordinary group of industry professionals. The level of expertise, dedication, and volunteer commitment across the technical committees is truly Remarkable.

A highlight of this year’s meeting was the continued growth of the Young & Emerging Professionals (YEP) initiative, along with the CGA-NEXT program. These efforts are strengthening mentorship, expanding networking opportunities, and cultivating the next generation of leaders actively contributing across technical committees.

We also celebrate Bob Roberts , CEO of Roberts Oxygen Company, who was honored with the 2026 H. Emerson Thomas Lifetime Service Award, recognizing 45 years of extraordinary leadership and lasting impact on both CGA and the Industrial Gas Industry.

Another major milestone is the modernization of the CGA Handbook of Compressed Gases. Now fully digital as of January 2026, the platform features over 70 gas monographs and 20+ chapters, with enhanced search capabilities, seamless navigation, and direct integration with CGA publications and external resources, setting a new standard for accessibility and continuous improvement.

We look forward to continuing this momentum at next year’s CGA Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas.

At EQUIGAS, we are proud to be part of such an incredible organization. Our #1 priority remains clear: SAFETY!

The 2026 AIWD Buying Group Annual Convention was a great success!

This year’s gathering of independent welding distributors packed an incredible amount of fun, education, and networking into just a few short days. We kicked things off with an unforgettable airboat tour through the Everglades. (Fun fact: South Florida is the only place where American alligators and American crocodiles coexist in the wild.)

The next day, we hit the golf course at Trump National Doral, Miami, just ahead of the Cadillac Championship. Always a neat experiance to run into PGA TOUR pros at the venue!

On Sunday, we got to experience the energy and flavor of Cuban culture with a walking tour through Little Havana, complete with empanadas, Cuban coffee, and ci**rs before heading into the opening reception.

The following day was filled with valuable member and vendor connections through the speed-networking sessions, vendor booths, open contact booth, and reception. And the closing reception was one to remember! Hand-rolled ci**rs, rum tastings, whole Cuban pigs, and a live salsa band made for an unforgettable finale.

EQUIGAS, Inc. loves supporting this event and the opportunity it creates to connect, learn, and celebrate our industry. A huge thank you to Kelly Horton, Diane Calhoun, and everyone who helped make this year’s convention such a success.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in Branson, MO next year!
