Business of the Month
The Business of the Month is Coastal Welding Supply Inc. Coastal
Welding Supply was founded in 1963 by Al Mazoch and has evolved from
a single location in Beaumont into a full service Gulf Coast industrial and
specialty gas provider with focus on the petrochemical and metal fabrica-
tion industry. Coastal has six distribution
locations to respond to industrial and spe-
cialty gas supply needs and produces high
quality industrial gases, and precision fab-
rication gas blends. The company’s mis-
sion is to provide customers with a single source for all their industrial and
specialty gas requirements in a safe, timely and economical manner, while
working together with customers to build a mutually beneficial partner-
ship. Coastal will receive a sign in their lobby, an office party at The Grill by
Arfeen, Smith & Payne, a Facebook announcement, a spot in the Chamber
e-Newsletter and an online profile makeover by A La Carte Solutions. For
