David Breslow founded Linweld in 1945 as the Lincoln Welding Supply Company with the purpose of providing welding supplies and industrial gases to customers in Lincoln, Neb., and the surrounding rural communities. The company has become one of the largest welding supply distributors and independent processors of industrial, medical and specialty gases. The company now has opened store and plant locations in over 20 cities. Today, it has a fleet of transport and delivery vehicles as well as more than 400 employees. In addition to its sales and service locations, Linweld operates its own distribution center, air separation plant, acetylene plant, specialty gas department, and training and automation center.
