Airgas Career Openings | United States
Airgas Careers: Airgas was formed in 1982, the brainchild of young attorney-turned-chairman Peter McCausland. McCausland saw potential in Connecticut Oxygen (CONNEX), a small oxygen distribution company in Stafford, Connecticut—and used his entrepreneurial spirit to acquire the firm. Airgas became the holding company for CONNEX, with McCausland serving as chairman, in a deal that would reshape the industry for decades to come.Strategic acquisitions spurred significant early growth. In the early 1980s, the U.S. market for industrial gases was dominated by a few major producers. And with the industry entering a period of consolidation, Airgas purchased distributors in various locations and went after producers in secondary markets that had excellent growth potential.
