Central Welding Supply marks its 35th anniversary in 2010, as it celebrates a rich history that began in 1975 as a small start-up begun by Founder, Mickey Wilton. Today, the Central Welding Supply family of companies has grown to 19 retail locations, seven divisions, over 170 dedicated employees, and over $50M in annual revenues.

Central Welding Supply's Safety Division and website were launched in the Summer of 2010. In addition to occupational safety products, the safety division offers online resources for safety management and training.

Though the company has grown from one small store to a much larger regional distributor, Central Welding Supply has stayed true to its initial objective: Provide the region’s most responsive customer service along with convenient locations and the best products, while holding on to the core values and traditions of a family-owned, family-run, local business.
