We've all heard a story like this:
A coworker asks, "Why do we do it this way?"
The old-timer shrugs and replies, "Because that's how I was taught."
But what if there's a better way?
The welding industry is evolving faster than ever. From cobots and robotic automation to battery-powered equipment, propane-powered systems, advanced power sources, and even laser welding, new technologies are changing how work gets done every day.
The challenge isn't finding new technology. It's finding the right fit for your shop and your specific application.
Are you using the best filler metal for the job? The right shielding gas? The most efficient welding process? Is your current equipment helping maximize productivity, or is it just getting the job done because that's what you've always used?
With everyone online claiming to know "the best way" or "the right way," it pays to get advice from experienced professionals who can evaluate your operation firsthand.
At Buckeye Welding Supply, a Meritus Gas Partners company, our team of welding and gas experts can work alongside you to evaluate your processes, identify opportunities for improvement, increase productivity, and potentially reduce production costs.
Sometimes the biggest gains come from small changes.
Just because a process works doesn't mean it can't be safer, faster, more consistent, or more cost-effective.
If you'd like a fresh set of expert eyes on your operation, give us a call today at 303-287-0662.

A big thank you to DEWALT for spending half a day with our team and providing an in-depth look at some of their latest products and innovations.

One interesting takeaway: many people don't realize that OSHA requires a Type 1 guard when using cutting discs. Safety is always a top priority, and it's valuable to learn details like these directly from the experts.
We also learned that some competing manufacturers have moved away from offering corded tools altogether, making it even more important to understand the options available for different applications.
Thanks again, DeWALT, for your time, knowledge, and commitment to educating our team!

When uncertainty hit the argon supply chain, we had a choice.

We could accept the situation, tell our customers "sorry, we can't get that for you," and hope for the best. Or we could take control of our own destiny.
At Buckeye Welding Supply, we chose action.

After receiving notice that our argon supply could become unreliable, our team immediately got to work. We sourced our own liquid argon, secured transportation, leased a trailer, and took the necessary steps to ensure our customers would continue to have the products they depend on.
Today, we're preparing to unload our first load of liquid argon into our own tank.

This is more than just a delivery. It's a commitment.

Our customers count on us to keep their operations running, and we're not willing to accept disruptions when there's a solution to be found. We believe in finding a way, not finding an excuse.

If you're looking for a supplier that goes beyond simply taking orders and truly invests in keeping your business supplied, we'd love the opportunity to earn your trust.
Stop by any of our five Colorado Front Range locations and see what Buckeye Welding Supply can do for you.

Thursday Thought: Winter Is Closer Than You Think! ❄️🚗
One weekend, we're enjoying upper-80s temperatures, sunshine, and dry roads. A few days later, we're looking at temperatures in the 50s, rain, shorter days, and longer nights.
It's that time of year in Colorado when we're reminded that snow isn't all that far away!
And every year, when that first real snowstorm drops several inches, we see the same things happening all over again:
🚗 Vehicles sliding through intersections.
⛰️ Drivers unable to make it up a seemingly small hill.
🛞 Tires spinning at a stoplight because there's not enough tread to find traction.
If you've ever driven in a Colorado snowstorm, you've probably witnessed it—or been part of it yourself.
The good news? A little preparation now can save you a whole lot of trouble later.
Before winter arrives, take a few minutes to check your vehicle:
✅ Tires: Check tread depth, tire condition, and whether your tires are appropriate for winter driving.
✅ Fluids and wipers: Make sure your fluids are topped off and your windshield wipers are ready for snow, slush, and freezing temperatures.
✅ Fuel: Keep your tank adequately filled, especially when traveling in the mountains.
✅ Emergency supplies: Pack a blanket, water, some food, a flashlight, a phone charger, and other essentials in case you're stuck waiting for a road to reopen.
And if you've ever driven from Denver to Frisco during a snowstorm, you know how quickly a trip can turn into hours of waiting. A crash, an avalanche, or vehicles struggling to navigate snowy roads can shut things down for a long time.
You might find yourself sitting in traffic for hours, waiting for a highway to reopen—or wishing you'd taken five minutes to prepare before leaving home.
It might seem like overkill when the sun is shining and the roads are dry, but those five minutes could make a real difference when conditions change.
This week's Thursday Thought: Don't wait for the first snowstorm to remind you that winter is here. Take a few minutes now to give your vehicle a once-over and get prepared.
It's not just about getting yourself to your destination safely. It's about helping keep everyone else on the road safer, too.
Here are a few helpful resources to get you ready for winter driving:
🔗 Colorado Department of Transportation: https://www.codot.gov/travel/winter-driving/
🔗 Ready.gov — Winter Weather Preparedness: https://www.ready.gov/winter-weather
🔗 AAA — Winter Driving Tips: https://exchange.aaa.com/safety/driving-advice/winter-driving-tips/
Stay safe out there, Colorado!

Severe weather can be both frightening and dangerous for travelers. Winter storms, bad weather and sloppy road conditions are a factor in nearly half a million crashes and more than 2,000 road deaths every winter, according to research by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. Drivers should know ...

Thursday Thought 💭
Sometimes the best way to grow a business is to simply get out and meet people.
This week, the Buckeye Welding Supply and HICO teams hit the streets for a sales blitz to help spread the word about the new Buckeye Welding Supply location.
We had 5 teams canvassing the area, walking block by block and going business to business. We introduced ourselves, told businesses about the new location, and—most importantly—had some great conversations with potential new customers.
There’s something valuable about putting the phone down, getting out of the office, and talking to people face-to-face. You learn about their businesses, what they’re working on, what they need, and how you might be able to help.
At the end of the day, all five teams came back together, shared some of the experiences from the day, and headed out to dinner as a team.
A great day of hard work, good conversations, and building relationships.
We’re excited about what’s ahead for Buckeye Welding Supply, a Meritus Gas Partners Company, and we’re looking forward to becoming a resource for the businesses in our new neighborhood.
Sometimes you just have to knock on the door.

Thursday Thought: Sometimes the value we provide isn’t on the quote.
Today, we spent a good part of the day working on a quote for a customer involved in a very detailed project for a much larger customer.
The challenge? We weren’t given exact part numbers. We were given descriptions of what was needed.
That might sound simple, but when you’re working on a highly specialized project, the difference between “something that sounds right” and the exact product that will work for the application can be significant.
Because we know the customer, their job site, and the industries they work in, our team was able to put the pieces together. With years of industry experience behind our counter—and even more experience behind the people on our team—we can often read between the lines of a request and understand what the customer is actually trying to accomplish.
That’s the value of industry knowledge.
At Buckeye Welding Supply, we don’t just sell welding, industrial, or scientific supplies. We work to understand our customers, their applications, their environments, and the challenges they face.
And while some companies lose experienced employees and the knowledge that goes with them, Buckeye continues to add experienced people to our team.
The result is a team that can do more than take an order—we can help you find the right solution.
If you’re looking for a supplier that brings customer service, product knowledge, and real industry experience to the table, come check us out.
Buckeye Welding Supply — More than a supplier. A resource you can count on.

Another big day at Buckeye Welding Supply!

Nope, this is not déjà vu!

Today we received 18 pallets of cylinders, marking the second of three deliveries in Round 1 of our cylinder procurement program.
Investing in inventory isn't always exciting from the outside, but having the cylinders our customers need, when they need them, is what keeps businesses moving. Whether it's welding, fabrication, manufacturing, beverage, or specialty gas applications, we're committed to maintaining the inventory and infrastructure to support our customers' growth.
Thank you to our partners and team members who help make these large-scale inventory investments possible. More cylinders are on the way, and we're just getting started.
