General Welding Supply Corporation

General Welding Supply Corporation We are the leading Industrial, Medical, Specialty & Cryogenic Gas supplier on Long Island. History:
James P. Smith Corp. in New York City in 1953. In 1983, Mr. Mr.

Ruddy began working in the compressed gas industry as a child, delivering acetylene tanks via the subway around New York City. After returning home from WWII and the Korean war, he purchased T.W. Ruddy expanded his business with the acquisition of General Welding Supply Corp. located in Westbury. Ralph Cohan, who is now the Vice President of GWS, started with the company in 1981. Ruddys children,

Robert and Joanna, followed in their fathers footsteps. The businesses are run independently today, with Robert at the helm of T.W. Smith, and Joanna running General Welding Supply. Hanny's children, Nicholas and Kristen, have also joined the business. They are both very proud to be the third generation involved in the business! In 2000 General Cryogenic Technologies was born. Cryo Tech was the first company on Long Island to offer microbulk delivery of liquid nitrogen and oxygen. We currently have three microbulk delivery trucks servicing Long Island. In 2007, General Welding opened an on-site gas analysis laboratory. This lab allows us to fill high purity gases on-site, ensuring quality and a fast turnaround time for many specialty gas customers. Remember, quality doesn't cost more... it pays!

From request, to design, to installation in less than 2 weeks the Cryo-Tech division of General Welding Supply has completed requested upgrades and overhauls of bulk oxygen systems at SUNY Hospital in Stony Brook New York. These upgrades will ensure that the hospital has a steady uninterrupted of oxygen when they need it most while they increase their capacity to handle more ventilators.

The doctors and nurses that are on the front lines of this COVID-19 crisis currently have one tool to save the lives of patients affected by this virus and that’s Oxygen. In speaking with doctors, and respiratory therapists around the country it has been found that the amount of oxygen that these patients require, combined with the increased number of patients that the hospitals are seeing, is beyond anything they have ever seen or imagined. The increased oxygen consumption at hospitals around the world has taxed many of their bulk oxygen storage and delivery systems in some cases almost to the brink of failure.

We are honored and proud to be able to support our Hospitals and Healthcare workers in this time of need. Also thankful for the support of our suppliers like, Chart Industries, who helped move mountains to make these projects happen in record time.

We are still ramping up our supplies of Medical Oxygen tanks ready to deploy thousands of cylinders at a moments notice when the call comes in. Please don’t hesitate to call us with any of your medical oxygen needs both large and small during this crisis. We are here to help!!!

Thank you. Stay safe. Stay home. Save lives.

General Welding Supply is here, during this National Emergency, to serve the needs of our medical community.

While the world is being asked to stay home and flatten the curve, the amazing staff at GWS remains committed to delivering the medical gases and products that our community depends on, now more than ever during this health crisis.

Because of the vital nature of the products we deliver, we need to protect our amazing staff and their families. Due to this need we are required to make a few changes to our operations during this emergency.

During this time we ask that all of our customers call our office for delivery instead of visiting our showroom stores.

For the time being we will be closing our Westbury showroom store to the public. Our office, cylinder filling, and delivery operations remain open. If you absolutely need to visit us, our Holbrook location will remain open Monday through Friday from 8am-4:30pm. Please call the Holbrook location for parking lot service in order to limit exposure and contact inside the store. Call us at (631)-563-6561 to arrange service.

During this time we are also asking that customers do not sign delivery invoices but instead take a copy that we will leave with the cylinders, sign, and fax or email a copy to our office if a signature is required for payment.

Currently we are operating at full capacity with a priority put on medical customer deliveries. We are in the office and on the road. Please call us if you have any questions related to any part of this emergency or any of these changes. As things are rapidly evolving we will be updating these changes as needed. Please stay safe, stay home, and help flatten the curve.

Thank you,

The team at General Welding Supply
