In a world where national chains and online suppliers dominate many industries, there’s something uniquely valuable about working with a local company—especially when it comes to something as mission-critical as welding gases and industrial supplies. At DuPuy Oxygen, we’ve proudly served Central and North-Central Texas for decades, and we understand what it takes to support businesses that depend on reliability, responsiveness, and expertise. Choosing a Texas-owned gas supplier offers more than just convenience—it provides an unmatched level of service, accountability, and community investment.
Faster Service and Delivery You Can Count On
Timing is everything in the welding and fabrication world. Delays in gas supply or equipment can derail entire projects and put your crew behind schedule. Working with a local provider like DuPuy Oxygen means faster delivery times and flexible scheduling. With branch locations across Waco, Fort Worth, Killeen, and beyond, we cover a wide delivery area between Austin and Fort Worth with same-day and next-day service options.
Our in-house fill plants in Waco and Fort Worth eliminate the need to rely on third-party facilities, so we control our inventory and turnaround times. This direct access gives our customers the confidence that when they need gas or equipment, we can deliver quickly and consistently.
Personalized Customer Support
When you work with a local gas supplier, you’re not just an account number in a national system—you’re a valued customer with unique needs. Our team gets to know your business, your crew, and your work style. Whether you’re a large-scale operation or a one-person shop, we tailor our service to match your specific requirements.
Our staff is made up of experienced professionals who live and work in the same communities we serve. They understand the unique challenges Texas welders face, from temperature extremes to rural job sites, and they provide solutions that reflect real-world conditions—not boilerplate answers.
Flexibility You Won’t Find with Big Chains
Local suppliers are inherently more agile than national brands. We don’t need to wait for approval from corporate headquarters to make decisions. If your business needs a rush order, a custom gas blend, or an unexpected equipment repair, we can respond immediately.
This flexibility extends to billing terms, delivery routes, and product availability. If you need something specific, we’ll work to source it or find a comparable solution without delay. For many of our customers, that responsiveness is the difference between meeting a deadline or missing it.
Accountability and Quality Control
With national suppliers, it can be difficult to know where your gas comes from or how it’s been handled. At DuPuy Oxygen, we fill our cylinders in-house and maintain strict quality control standards. We test and inspect each fill to ensure consistency, pressure accuracy, and purity, so you can count on reliable performance every time.
Being local means we’re accountable to our customers. If there’s ever an issue, you can reach a real person immediately—not a call center. We stand behind our products and services because we take pride in our work and our reputation in the community.
Supporting the Local Economy
When you choose a Texas-owned supplier, you’re investing in your own economy. The money you spend stays in the community—supporting local jobs, families, and small businesses. Our team members are your neighbors, your customers, and your partners in growth.
We reinvest in our operations, hire locally, and give back to the communities we serve. From sponsoring local events to participating in vocational training programs, we’re deeply committed to helping Texas thrive.
Expertise Rooted in the Region
National providers may offer broad product catalogs, but they often lack regional knowledge. At DuPuy Oxygen, we understand the welding and industrial landscape of Texas. We know what types of gases, machines, and consumables are most effective for the industries operating here—from agriculture and oilfield services to construction and manufacturing.
We also understand how Texas’ climate affects your gas usage and storage. Our technicians regularly advise customers on how to handle cylinders in extreme heat, store equipment safely, and plan for weather-related disruptions. That kind of insight is difficult to find from out-of-state suppliers.
Comprehensive Service Under One Roof
Another key advantage of working with a local supplier like DuPuy Oxygen is the convenience of bundled services. We offer more than just gas—we stock welding machines, tools, accessories, safety gear, and consumables. Our showrooms are well-stocked, and our team is ready to walk you through options and recommend products that meet your needs and budget.
In addition to sales, we offer equipment rentals, repairs, and maintenance performed by certified technicians. This all-in-one approach saves our customers time and simplifies their workflow by reducing the number of vendors they have to manage.
Better Relationships, Long-Term Trust
We believe strong business relationships are built on trust, not transactions. Our customers know they can count on us—not just for the sale, but for advice, support, and follow-through. Many of our clients have worked with us for decades, relying on our expertise and responsiveness through changing projects, technologies, and economic cycles.
That long-term trust is a testament to our commitment to doing business the right way—with honesty, integrity, and a focus on customer success.
Adaptable to Growth and Change
As your business grows or shifts focus, having a local supplier by your side can make scaling easier. We help clients upgrade their gas needs, expand into new facilities, or shift to new equipment without disrupting their workflow. Whether you’re opening a new shop in Temple or ramping up production in Fort Worth, we can help you plan and execute a smooth transition.
We also keep you informed of industry trends, safety updates, and product innovations so you can stay ahead of the curve without constantly monitoring supplier news.

Choosing a Texas-owned gas supplier isn’t just about supporting local—it’s about gaining a partner who’s truly invested in your success. At DuPuy Oxygen, we combine fast service, regional expertise, and personalized support to deliver unmatched value to welders and industrial teams across Central Texas.
