IWDC Member Tech Air Announces Acquisition

IWDC Member Tech Air, headquartered in Danbury, CT is proud to announce that it has added Alliance Welding Supplies, Inc. to its family of companies. The partnership with Alliance will establish a significant presence for Tech Air in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Alliance was founded in 2002 by Marvin Rodgers III in San Jose, California, a short distance from his father’s business, Alliance Gas Products, and his mother’s business, Mavry Welding Supply, in Oakland, California. In 2011, the Rodgers family merged their independent, Bay Area businesses to create the largest independent distributor of industrial, specialty, bulk and cryogenic gases, welding supplies and safety equipment in the San Francisco Bay Area and the largest independent gas distributor in Northern California. Marvin Rodgers III is the President of Alliance and will continue to serve in that capacity going forward. Mr. Rodgers III will retain a significant investment.
