East Bay Welding Supply is a distributor of packaged gases and welding supplies. Located in San Francisco, the company adds two California locations to the Meritus Gas portfolio.
“East Bay Welding Supply is an excellent fit for Meritus,” said Meritus’ Vice President Steve Bogard. “They are the perfect partner to support our growth as we build out our presence in Northern California. The San Francisco Bay Area is one of the largest MSAs in the country and extraordinarily diverse – it is the home to metal fabrication, laboratory, university research, biotech and electronics industries. Meritus partners now operate out of seven Northern California locations, and we expect to further expand our capabilities and reach into new markets.”
Meritus is a portfolio company of AEA Investors Small Business Private Equity.
