The IWDC is a
cooperative, formed in 1994, which leverages the strengths of its independent
welding distributor members across North America. IWDC Member companies
collectively represent over $2.4B in sales, serving a wide range of industries.
The common denominator is that these industries look to them for industrial,
specialty, and medical gases as well as related equipment, hardgoods, and
consumables. End-use customers served by IWDC Members benefit from having the
unparalleled expertise of a local Member distributor who has access to
national-scale purchasing and marketing programs.
