(NAUGATUCK, CT) December 21, 2012 – New England’s leading supplier of

Naugatuck, Connecticut. The new store facility was acquired on December 21, 2012, from Industrial Gas and Supply (IGS), a local welding supply and specialty gas business
in Naugatuck, Connecticut. As the newest acquired Maine Oxy location, the Naugatuck
storefront will now offer local residents and businesses top-quality products and services
from Maine Oxy, including industrial, medical & specialty gases, along with name-brand
welding and safety supplies. Maine Oxy has acquired all industrial assets and will

Maine Oxy’s commitment to customer service and success as an employee-owned company led IGS to select Maine Oxy as the new owner of the Connecticut
location. Maine Oxy supports community values and prompt service and looks forward to
serving the people and businesses in Connecticut’s New Haven County.
