Zacks
Airgas Inc. (ARG)
is partnering with MacEwen Petroleum Inc., Maxville, Ontario, to
distribute AiRx Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) in Canada. MacEwen is a
leading supplier of petroleum products to customers ranging from
retail to wholesale to commercial and residential markets. MacEwen
is also a leading convenience store operator with its C-store
Brand.
Airgas AiRx DEF is used in diesel
engines and helps reduce harmful diesel exhaust pollutants with the
help of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. The product
has a certification from the American Petroleum Institute (API) and
complies with EPA clean air regulations.
Airgas is a reliable supplier and
has an immense distribution network, which has influenced MacEwen
to join hands with Airgas. Besides, MacEwen has an amazing track
record as a supplier and is confident that the alliance of the two
can successfully serve the Canadian markets. Airgas is committed to
grow its business across the continent and views this partnership
as a stepping stone.
Airgas has recently realigned its
operations dividing it into four divisions: viz, West, North,
South and Central to reap the benefits from its new customized SAP
information platform. Airgas has also made two major acquisitions
including Waterford, Connecticut-based ABCO Gases, Welding and
Industrial Supply Company Inc.
ABCO and Bloomington, Indiana-based
Pain Enterprises Inc. The merits of these strategic actions are
likely to be reflected in the next quarterly results of the
company. Currently, the company retains a Zacks #2 Rank, which
translates into a short-term (1 to 3 months) Buy rating.
Based in Randor, Pennsylvania,
Airgas, through its subsidiaries, distributes industrial, medical,
and specialty gases, as well as hard goods in the United States.
Airgas competes with Air Products (APD) and
L'Air Liquide SA (AIQUY).
