History

Established in 1919.

Earlbeck Gases & Technologies dates back to 1919, when it was first formed as the T.A. Canty Company, a wholesale welding products distributorship. In 1952, Al Earlbeck took ownership of the entire business and renamed the company Earlbeck Welding Supplies. It has been a family-​owned business ever since.

For the next 20 years, Al Earlbeck grew the welding company, fostering a philosophy of knowledge-​based, solutions-​oriented selling built on a foundation of loyal customer relationships. This is still the creed of Earlbeck Gases & Technologies today.

In 1977, at the age of 25, after earning a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Jim Earlbeck was named vice-​president. Four years later, he became president.

Corporate goals were modified to strengthen the technical side of the business, such as welder training & testing and expanding the portfolio of product offerings to include compressed and cryogenic gases, in order to provide a complete range of support for its customers.
