MONTREAL, Sep. 16, 2009 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- AIQUY | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Air Liquide Canada Inc., a company of the Air Liquide Group, the world leader in gases for industry, health and the environment, today announced its acquisition of Tri-County Welding Supplies. Tri-County Welding Supplies is ALC's largest, independently owned welding supply distributor in Ontario and has been servicing the Kitchener-Waterloo region for over 40 years.

"This acquisition strengthens our base in one of the most commercially active areas in Canada," said Luc Doyon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Air Liquide Canada. "We expect it will generate significant benefits for customers, who will not only have direct access to the complete range of Air Liquide's expanded products and services offer, but will benefit from our e-business platform, our worldwide network of experts and our international research centres."

Tri-County was created as a result of Air Liquide Canada's cylinder distributor program of the 1960's in which close to 100 distributor locations were established. After steering their business for four decades and two generations the current owners have chosen to divest themselves to focus on alternate activities.

"This acquisition will give Air Liquide Canada the opportunity to expand its product offering in the Kitchener/Waterloo region, thus increasing availability of ALC products to existing and potential customers," added Mr. Doyon.
