From gasworld, June 2009: Airgas Gaspro, a business unit of Airgas, Inc., is celebrating 100 years in the Hawaiian community.
The company opened its doors in 1909 as Hawaiian Gas Products, a small family-owned business that made bricks and pipe. Airgas acquired Gaspro from the BOC Group in 2004.
Gaspro now manufactures industrial and medical gases, including hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide, and produces dry ice.
Today, it has grown to nine locations; three on Oahu, three on Hawaii, two on Maui and one on Kauai, and generates annual revenues of $40 million.
