Tech Air acquires L&M Welding Supply

Tech Air, a Danbury, Conn.-based distributor of industrial, medical, and specialty gases and related welding supplies, has acquired L&M Welding Supply Inc., Mobile, Ala.

L&M is a distributor of welding supplies and industrial equipment to the military, shipbuilding, and power industries on the Gulf Coast. It will become part of Tech Air's Southern Region, and the former owner, Clark Kelly, will remain actively engaged with the company.
