Weldcoa, the leading manufacturer and designer of Automated Palletized Cylinder Gas Facilities, has hired Donald Renner formally with CI Systems of California. "Don's new position at Weldcoa is "Sales Engineer Manager" and he will continue to do what he has been doing for the past 40 years designing, quoting, building, installing and supporting Cylinder Fill Plant Equipment." stated Bud Klotz, Vice President Operations Weldcoa. "Don's skill set is a perfect fit for us. We are glad to have him." Continued Klotz.

"Right now many of the successful and aggressive independent gas distributors are re-defining themselves by updating, upgrading and in some cases rebuilding their facilities in order to better compete in a fierce market that is constantly in flux due to the unending mergers, and acquisitions that are occurring in our industry. Weldcoa is reacting to the same economic forces by continuing to deepen our product offering and in this case by continuing to add greater resources that our customer partners can use. For all of those reasons Don Renner is an excellent addition to the Weldcoa team." Said Hector Villarreal President.

"When you take a good hard look at what Weldcoa's capabilities are there really isn't anyone else like them in the world. They have always been a company that is 100% focused on helping the gas distributors do their work better, faster and safer. Because of the size of our industry I have worked side by side with Weldcoa on several projects and even though we were competitors I have always admired their attention to detail and their commitment level to their customers." said Renner. "I'm happy to be here. They are a perfect fit for what I do and what I care about." Continued Renner.

"We have always pushed ourselves to create new products in emerging markets in order to stay several steps ahead of the pack. Don is someone who is very creative and more importantly has the experience and expertise to support his efforts. We have always felt that our team was the strongest in terms of experience and creativity in the industry and now we are stronger and more diversified than ever before. The industry will see a lot of new concepts and services coming from us in the near and long term." Said Carl Schmidt, Weldcoa Director of Engineering.
