How nexAir’s History of Innovation Continues to Drive Excellence in Industrial Solutions

In 1940, we established a new model for gas delivery in the Southeast. While manufacturers focused on production, we built direct supply chains to local businesses, creating the first reliable regional distribution network. This approach filled a crucial market need, giving companies dependable access to essential materials.

R.Q. McEniry’s vision in 1950 transformed our business approach. We moved beyond delivery to become partners in our clients’ growth, offering comprehensive support for their operations. McEniry recognized that success in our field demanded deep market knowledge, specialized skills, and dedication to helping businesses thrive.

The 1996 formation of nexAir marked our next evolution. By merging complementary strengths, we enhanced our ability to serve diverse market needs. This union combined decades of experience with fresh thinking, creating an organization equipped to tackle complex industrial challenges.
